BOE President Telesford: “The Board recognizes that the 100-person limit on Zoom during Monday’s forum fell short of expectations. While HYA reports that no one was denied access during the actual forum, we acknowledge that the limit itself could have prevented participation for some. The Board sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience or frustration this caused.”
