The Henry County Board of Education voted at its May 26 special called meeting to extend the emergency resolution originally passed in early April in response to the COVID-19 shutdown.
The resolution previously approved was set to expire May 31 but will now remain in effect until July 31. Through its passage the district adopted several state waivers, vested the superintendent with certain emergency powers, made certain alterations to board meetings, and suspended certain board policies.
“In the judgment of the board, the emergency circumstances located within its jurisdiction requiring extraordinary response for the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of its students, employees and stakeholders still exist,” according to the new resolution.
