Golden: As of yesterday afternoon, we were told we don't have the authority to shift to remote, but later in the evening from Comm. Scwinn we received that comment. We are asking from you to continue that ask.
Golden: Right now we have no instructions from the state that we have that power. We have verbal communication from news sources, and that's what we are checking on. Superintendents are asking the same question you are asking.
Ausbrooks: For this school year, the governor would have to extend TEMA or an emergency order for remote. We are asking not to wait for a state emergency. There are other conditions of the rule, and only one county has been activated by Gov. Lee, and that's Humphreys.

I will start a new thread here with what the board is talking about on the agenda.
Golden said that after their vote, the governor had an opt out to requiring it at the elementary level is overlaid with the opt-out. As of Friday, said they created some more mitigation strategies.
Golden: We have included letters to parents of close contact. Last year, we could shift grade levels to remote learning on a limited basis through continuous learning plans. We learned last week we may have that need again.

Ahead of tonight's meeting, a group of doctors and healthcare workers have sent videos to the Williamson County School Board rather than show up in person. They fear what will happen last time could happen to them again - that being anti-maskers chasing them into the parking lot.
Video from Allison Macintyre indicates she is a parent of three kids in Williamson County and lives in the Fairview community.

"Unfortunately at the beginning of this year, we had to make the hard decision to pull two of our students as CDC guidelines were not being followed."
Macintyre: My oldest student is fortunately vaccinated, but is unfortunately one of the few at Fairview High School, who wear a mask. We are deeply concerned about the rate of breakthrough cases amongst those vaccinated. We are concerned about the complete lack of mitigation.

The news desk confirmed that yes, MNPD is investigating the muzzle incident in relation to Dr. Shelley Fiscus. The fraud unit is looking at as a harassment case.
Fiscus told @NC5 earlier that she felt the state's report was filled with inconsistencies. She said a second Amazon account in her name was set up using a burner phone with T-Mobile service, and she doesn't use that provider.
In addition, the Amazon account listed her office as the billing address, which she said isn't the address associated with her credit card.

Yesterday, I talked to the Humphreys County 911 director on the phone. He was a very nice gentleman, who truly was overwhelmed. He explained that for 45 minutes, their system was down on Saturday, but they still continued to receive hundreds of phone calls that day.
Caller- We are going under! We cannot breathe!
Dispatcher - Ok!
Caller -On top by the couch!
Dispatcher -Ok I will let them know again
Caller -Alright, hurry!
Dispatcher -Yes sir!
Caller -Please!
Dispatcher -Yes sir I'm trying my best
Caller - I just tried to get out in my car and it about washed my car away and my wife and three year old
Dispatcher - Is there water in it?
Caller - Not yet but there's gonna be, it's fixing to be
Dispatcher - We'll get somebody out to you, try not to go anywhere
