NEWFOUND AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT PLANS COVID-19 SAFE DELIBERATIVE SESSION

1/15/21

The Newfound Area School District is planning a COVID-19 safe deliberative session on January 30^th at 10:00 am at Newfound Regional High School (NRHS). The snow date is February 1^st at 6:30 pm.

This year the deliberative session will be held in the gymnasium. We will safely seat 160 people, six feet apart. The auditorium will also be prepared for socially distanced seating if we reach capacity in the gymnasium. All seating will be cleaned and disinfected before the meeting. People in the auditorium will view the meeting on a live internet video stream and will have access to a microphone if they wish to speak to the meeting. An Assistant Moderator will be assigned to facilitate the process of voting in the auditorium and classrooms.

People who would like their own private space due to safety concerns may view the meeting in a classroom via live video stream. Attendees with these concerns are encouraged to contact the SAU office at 744-5555 to request a classroom.

Supervisors of the Checklist for each town will be assigned to designated areas at NRHS in order to maintain proper spacing.

Masks will be required for attendees of this meeting and temperature screenings will be conducted prior to entering the meeting room. Mask-less attendees will be asked to view the meeting in one of our classrooms.
