Bronson says he believes that in-person learning should not take place this upcoming semester, citing medical evidence and significant risk of transmission not just to students and staff, but their families.
"What I come back to is the health situation and not wanting to expose this community to the risk fo significant transmission," - Bronson. "I can still where we might do some limited face-to-face work with the youngest children....
...but with respect to the rest of our student body and our community, I think it& #39;s just too early."
Trustee Teresa Schreiner says she also does not support moving forward with the reopening plan and face-to-face learning. She says she& #39;s concerned about increased spread of virus as a result of schools reopening.
"We need to bring the danger down in Great Falls before we move forward with face-to-face learning," - Schreiner. "(But) timing is an issue more than anything."
