The Board of Trustees of Teton School District 401 voted unanimously Monday evening to ratify the State Board of Education decision regarding the soft closure of schools continuing through the end of the academic school year. The vote validated that the district intends to follow yet-to-be-determined state criteria that may allow district schools to re-open. The board scheduled a special online board meeting to take place at 5:30 pm next April 20th. By then, it is hoped that the state will have determined its criteria. School s Superintendent Monte Woolstenhulme points out that Governor Brad Little is planning a press conference today at 11:00 am to discuss whether Idaho will continue the original stay-at-home order past midnight that night. The State Board of Education will then meet Thursday with establishing the state criteria on its agenda. At least four different governing agencies have been involved in determining social distancing rules and other conditions that have unfolded during the Coronavirus crisis. Ultimately, the responsibility to re-open local public schools lies with the local school board.
The Idaho School Board Association and the State Board of Education have recommended that individual school districts
vote on the measure.
