Meeting Resources

As the COVID-19 virus has become a global pandemic and a serious threat to the health and welfare of our state’s population, Governor David Ige issued EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 20-02 on March 29, 2020. In that order, Section C gives our Charter School Governing Boards guidance on holding Governing Board meetings during this COVID 19 situation:
 
Sections 302D-12(h)(1) to (5), charter school boards; powers and duties, to the extent necessary to enable the governing board of a charter school to conduct business in person or through remote technology without holding meetings open to the public. The governing boards shall consider reasonable measures to allow public participation consistent with social distancing practices, such as providing notice of meetings, allowing submissions of written testimony on agendized items, live streaming meetings, and posting minutes of meetings online. No governing board deliberation or action shall be invalid, however, if such measures are not taken.
 
As such, the Governing Board’s meetings from April 22, 2020 forward until further notice will be broadcast via ZOOM. Links to join the video meetings and phone numbers to call in are available in the meeting agendas linked below.

If you would like to submit written testimony on any agenda item please do so by emailing the SEEQS Governing Board at: boardchair@seeqs.org by 8:00 a.m. one business day prior to the Governing Board meeting (include " Testimony " in the subject line).
