<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Will there be any opportunity to join remotely?
</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">As a mom of two children too young to be vaccinated, I am willing to accept the risk of going back to in-person classes, but I would like to balance
that by mitigating other exposures. </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We know we can hold effective and efficient Senate meetings remotely, since we did this all last year, is there
a reason to mandate that these meetings be fully in-person with no remote option? At least I'm hoping you will consider options until children can be vaccinated and/or until community spread is substantially lower. Thanks for your consideration. </span><br>
