Susquenita rejects idea allowing kids to return to school a day after COVID-19 exposures
Updated Feb 19, 2021;
Susquenita School Board, in a marathon session on Feb. 9, defeated a motion to return students to school 24 hours after COVID-19 exposures are identified at a school building.
“I think it’s extremely unrealistic. It’s taking a toll on our maintenance staff, and I don’t know why we’re considering this,” said board member Dr. John Rubisch.
Ultimately, the motion was defeated in a 6-2 vote after the board spent 45 minutes in an executive session to hear legal advice from solicitor Dan Altland.
