A longtime staff member at the school has died - likely the 32nd and most recent county resident to succumb to the virus since the outbreak began. Tarr was not present at Thursday’s meeting because he was at home struggling with a case of COVID-19, Pond said. “In the role of society, children are not created to be obedient to any other system of government except for the wishes of their parents,” Tarr said on Sept. Tarr, who also is president of Cornerstone Christian School, which is located along Colorado Highway 82 between El Jebel and Basalt, said the parents of students at the school should determine whether masks should be required rather than Eagle County’s department of public health. Jim Tarr of Cornerstone Christian Church appealed to Eagle County Commissioners Kathy Chandler-Henry, Jeanne McQueeney and Matt Scherr to let his school determine its own policy on masks for students based on its religious status.
The emergency meeting came a little more than a month after the Rev. School board members Jonathan Jones, Norman Bacheldor and Amanda Pond, who is also a third-grade teacher at the campus, expressed contrition for the situation while also stating that the school hasn’t been lax about taking COVID-19 precautions. The hourlong meeting included a presentation by Heath Harmon, the county’s public health director, who provided a timeline of the county’s requests for the school to come into compliance with public health reporting of positive cases at the school. Any person at the private Christian school who fails to comply with the order is subject to penalties ranging from fines up to $5,000 and jail time up to 18 months. The signing of the order came at the close of an emergency meeting of the Eagle County Board of Health.
