IV.A. Information and Discussion on COVID Update
Presenter:
Linda Gibson
Discussion:
The Gila County Health Department attended this portion of the meeting via phone to answer Board questions. Audrey Hogue asked why some schools in other counties were handling the close contact differently than our district. Her position is that it should be parent choice if they quarantine their child if they come in close contact with another person who test positive for COVID. Gila County is following CDC guidelines. Michael Discoll and Stella Gore from Gila County explained the mask mandate, contagious timeline and other questions from the board. Since this was an Information and Discussion item, there was no Board action.
