During the meeting, which was streamed on YouTube, CEO Marty Brooks said a memo was sent to all workers on Monday – indicating the Nov. 1 deadline. Anyone who has not provided proof of vaccination by 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 29, Brooks said, will "have voluntarily resigned from their position with the (Wisconsin Center) District."
