Variances
Variance Committee meeting - Thursday, March 27, 2025 at 9 a.m.
Meeting details
Meetings are held virtually via Microsoft Teams. Presenters and those associated with a variance request are put into virtual waiting rooms until the committee is ready to hear presentations.
State Aid will monitor and provide access to each variance request presentation and, when the Variance Committee is ready, will give access to the presenter(s) and those who want to attend the variance request presentation(s).
Once a presentation is done and the committee has concluded the actions on a request, the presenters and the attendees will be dismissed from the meeting and, if any additional presentations remain, the next group of presenters will be given access for their presentation.
Those not part of the variance request presentation group(s) who wish to attend any of the variance request presentations can use the Teams meeting link and will be given access by the meeting organizer.
