I am a KRMC employee working in the public school system in Dist. 5. I am very concerned about the
county fair being allowed to go on as our COVID 19 numbers continue to escalate here in the Flathead.
We are sending emails because local anti-government groups are refusing to
wear masks to public meetings as a protest against the mask mandate. This
makes in-person public comments unsafe as local COVID-19 cases increase.
We want to return to in-person instruction with our students, and the Fair
jeopardizes the possibility of a safe start to the school year as it ends just four
days before the first day of school.
This not only puts more than 6,000 students at risk, but there are over 700
employees in Kalispell school district alone.
Thank You for your consideration, Linda Barone LCPC Therapist at Edgerton School
