PUBLIC COMMUNICATION WITH THE BOARD
Board President Fulkerson welcome all attendees to tonight’s board meeting. He instructed all attendees that would be addressing the board tonight to give their name and that comments will be limited to five minutes per person. He informed them that the board would not be voting on a revised 2021-2022 Return to School Plan at tonight’s meeting but is scheduled to be revisited at the September 20, 2021 regular board meeting. He also reminded them that public comments concerning personnel of the district should be made in closed sessions of the board.
Board President Fulkerson said that he was contacted by Dusty Aud and asked to be the first speaker tonight. Mr. Aud thanked Fulkerson for sending letters to Governor Pritzker and Dr. Carmen I. Ayala, ISBE State Superintendent, after the August 10, 2021 special board meeting. He stated that ultimately the board is on their side and asked the audience to be respectful and to support the board. He would like the board to call another special board meeting and maybe revisit the 2021-2022 Return to School Plan before the September 20, 2021 regular board meeting. Since 40 school districts in the surrounding area have voted for optional masks for 2021-2022, he does not feel that calling another special board meeting is unreasonable. He reiterated that he feels that masks don’t work.
Mr. Jason Edwards stated that last year, he had a senior and watched what went on helplessly. At that time, we didn’t know much about COVID-19. A year later, a lot of scientific facts support that masks don’t work. He also likes the idea of the board calling a special meeting. He said that he respects each of the board members and realizes that teachers and administrators are out of their normalcy. He asked how much learning are we really doing because right now, their focus is on masks. He stated that influenza A causes more students to become ill, but we have never required masks. He recommended that when the students get into the classrooms, let the students remove their masks.
Mrs. Patrica Trout, Speech and Language Pathologist at Lincoln Attendance Center, stated that masks affect her job and affects her students directly. She provides speech and language services to children three years of age through first grade. She will begin the 2021- 2022 school year with 62 children who need help in this area whether it is severe communication delays and/or severe articulation delays. She asked how she can provide quality communication lessons when she can’t see their face and they can’t see hers. She said that last year she was provided face shields. It was impossible keeping them clean and having a place to store them in her office. They would keep slipping off her face and off the students’ faces. The students don’t need another distraction. She would like to see masks being optional.
Mr. Bill Chapman stated that the majority of people are against the mask mandate. He asked the board when it was going to take a stand against the State and why they weren’t taking a stand now. He stated that the board is concerned of losing State funding and of being sued. He stated that wearing masks increased carbon dioxide levels in children, and they should not be forced to wear them.
Ms. Stella Oxford asked has how much State funding the district could potentially lose. She said that is what she feels that it has come down to. She said that when she told her son earlier in the summer that he would not have to wear a mask at school, he was very excited. Then when she told him that he was going to have to wear a mask to school, he was very heart broken.
Mr. Brad Chapman asked when the board could call a special board meeting to vote on a revised Return to School Plan.
Mr. Daniel Ballard stated that the audience did not receive an answer to the question of when the board could call a special board meeting. Board President Fulkerson answered that the board could call a special board meeting at any time but would have to give a 48-hour notice. He stated that at the last special board meeting, the board voted and agreed to review the plan at the September 20 board meeting. He said that he is following trends of COVID-19 in our area. He presented statistics that he has received from The Egyptian Health Department. He is in the process of looking at numbers before the board makes another decision.
Mr. Jason Edwards asked if anyone in the district has researched Influenza A and B in the district for 2019. Mr. Fulkerson said that if these numbers are available, he would like to review them. Mr. Edwards said that he thought the statistics from The Egyptian Health Department were misleading.
Mrs. Jana DeLong asked why the district was not offering remote learning when it was offered last year. She stated that there are not enough mental health professionals in the district.
Mr. Matt Garner said that he believes the district is following the mask mandate for two reasons: liability to board members and loss of recognition to the district. He asked if there had been any proof that one student contracted COVID-19 from another student while at school. He asked how the district could possibly take the blame for something that has no proof. He asked
what is the logic if the district loses its recognition status. What is going to happen to our district. Children have to go to school – it is the law.
Ms. Sherri Duckworth stated that she has a grandson who is autistic and attends Lincoln Attendance Center. One way that he speaks is taking your face and watching your mouth. Last year while on the playground, he put rocks inside his mask. She stated that the mandate is not a law. She believes the masks are going to become a national health issue.
Mrs. Amber Malone is the owner of Joyful Start in Carmi. She asked what if there is a new mandate for all staff to get vaccinated. You are asking children not to socialize. No 24 month old child should be told to wear a mask. She agrees with the daily cleaning and daily screenings. The school district is trying to keep our children safe. Children are becoming withdrawn, having headaches, anxiety, developing issues, etc. Children say that they love their teachers but hate wearing masks. Joyful Start has been mask free this entire summer and have had no COVID-19 cases. They have had only five cases in the last eighteen months and these children were asymptomatic or had light symptoms. She things that masks should be an optional choice for the children.
Ms. Kathy Thompson stated that she is a grandmother and COVID-19 survivor. She states that there is ample evidence that there are physiological changes due wearing masks. There is bacterial build up to wearing masks. She recommended that the board use the services of Thomas Devore, attorney.
Mr. Kenneth Hargrave agreed that the numbers are right but that is less than 1% of White County. At the July board meeting, everyone on the board voted to go optional masks. He said that board members know that masks don’t work or they would not have voted for masks to be optional. He feels that it is very hypocritical to ask our children to wear masks. He asked that if we go against the governor’s mandate, does the district lose the $4 million of COVID money. This is not a money deal. He asked Superintendent Lee if 1% of students failed last year. Superintendent Lee said probably more than 1%. Mr. Hargrave said that we don’t need the money. It is not fair.
Ms. Jennifer Little is an aunt to students in the district. She said that one of the students began having headaches last year. She found out that some students were being masked for eight hours. We have never masked children before. They have an immune system. She asked if the board was going to stand up to the masks and if it was going to support vaccine requirements.
Mrs. Suzy Tomm, special education teacher at Jefferson Attendance Center, said that she would like to see optional masks. She also questioned the current quarantine protocol.
Mr. Nelson Rider, maintenance director at Premier Healthcare in New Harmony, Indiana, said that his child was quarantined six times last year and missed 60 days of school. He discussed the COVID-19 protocol at the nursing home where he works. He said that the nursing home went to extensive steps in protecting residents and COVID-19 continued to spread. You say masks are going to protect our children? He said that he doesn’t buy it. He said that he has a problem with the government taking away our liberties. He asked the board to reconsider the mask mandate and make the masks an option for students.
Dr. Rhonda Button discussed the legality and politics involved with the mandate. She stated that Illinois statute makes board members exempt from personal liability. She asked about a legal waiver that a parent/guardian could sign. She said this is still a local decision.
Mr. Flannigan stated that he respected the board and he didn’t want to argue statistics. He said that he has a five year old that started kindergarten. His child was excited until he had to put on a mask. He didn’t recognize anyone because of something that Mr. Flannigan feels is ineffective. He said that if the board had to wait until the September 20 board meeting, he is o.k. with it. His son was scared and he doesn’t like that.
Mrs. Kate Simmons stated that she is standing behind the staff and consequences. She wants to empower the board to make the decision that is right. If board members are not able to do that, then step down and let someone else make the right decision. She would like masks recommended or masks optional.
Board President thanked everyone for discussing and sharing their concerns. He read the attendees a letter written by Dr. Carmen I. Ayala, State Superintendent of Schools, that was received August 11, 2021, as it addresses the Governor’s mask mandate. In the letter, she states that the executive order has the force of law.
SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT TO THE BOARD
Superintendent Lee reported the following items to the board:
1. OPENING OF SCHOOL
On Thursday, August 12, a breakfast for all staff and a staff meeting were conducted at the junior/senior high school. This year’s breakfast was sponsored by Huck’s. After welcoming remarks by the superintendent, building principals introduced new staff members and gave building updates. Following the meeting, the staff members then returned to their respective buildings for various meetings. On Friday, August 13, an insurance meeting was held at 8:00 a.m. at the junior/senior high school and then staff returned to their respective buildings. Students began school today with a 50-minute early dismissal. This will continue the rest of this week to allow younger students to become acclimated to school and for staff to continue beginning of the year meetings and preparations. This practice has been utilized over the past several years and has been successful during the first week of school.
2. BACK-TO-SCHOOL NIGHTS
“Back-to-School Nights” will continue again this year in an effort to better inform the parents/guardians of the programs that are available to students and grade level expectations. “Back-to-School Nights” for Lincoln and Jefferson were held last Thursday. Washington’s is tonight. Junior High is tomorrow night. This Friday, prior to the Fall Sports Festival, the High School will have its “Back-to-School Night”. These events give staff members the opportunity to review goals and objectives of each class and share other important information.
3. COMPLIMENTS TO SUMMER EMPLOYEES
The building custodians have, as always, done an outstanding job in preparing district buildings for the beginning of the year. Their efforts in providing a comfortable, well-maintained teaching and learning environment are certainly appreciated.
Also, office staff members and custodians who work during the summer to process and deliver instructional materials and supplies to the various attendance centers are to be commended for their fine work. Their efforts allow us to begin school each year with the necessary supplies and materials.
4. WOVSED GOVERNING BOARD MEETING
A WOVSED Governing Board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, August 24, at 7:00 p.m. at the WOVSED offices in Norris City. Board Member Barb Mitchell is the district’s representative on this board.
5. GOOD NEWS!
Mrs. Attberry told the board that she wished they could have seen the excitement at Washington Attendance Center today. Students were glad to be back. There was no limit in numbers for the gym, they were able to tour the building, and to go swimming. It was a great day. Next week, when the PreK students come to school, they will add to this excitement.
Dr. Dixon reported that school starts at 8:30 a.m. at Lincoln Attendance Center. There are extra recesses where students are unmasked. Teachers are going above and beyond to make a great day for the kids. On P.E. days, there are 30 minutes spent outdoors. There are 45-minute lunch/recess time. Teachers take extra breaks and they don’t have to wear a mask as they walk around the outside of Lincoln Attendance Center.
Mrs. Price also said that it was a great day at Brownsville. Staff went above and beyond. They made signs for the kids as they got off of the buses. Brownsville students do a great job wearing masks and face shields. Her students are medically fragile, therefore, they are maintaining the 6’ social distancing.
Mr. King said that he went around and tried to talk to every junior high student during the lunch period. He asked them how their day was going. Every single kid had a smile on his/her face at lunch and at recess. Not one student said that he/she hated the mask.
Mr. Newell said that today was phenomenal at the high school. He said that he has good kids and good staff members. A lot goes into the taking care of these kids inside and outside the classroom. It was great to have kids back in the building. Extra-curricular activities started today with a golf match. Everyone is excited to get into the school year.
Board Member Westfall thanked the administrators for each positive report from his/her building(s).
SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH PROCESS
Current Unit #5 Superintendent, Brad Lee, will be retiring on June 30, 2022.

Mr. Buss provided board members with a packet of material on the IASB superintendent search process. The cost for this service is $7,900. Optional services can be added to the search process for additional costs. Included is a copy of a letter sent to Board President Fulkerson summarizing the services.
