Notes
South Dakota's employer-directed order. Ballotpedia records that on the same day the Governor closed schools for the remainder of the year (136,302 students); the school action is not in the pages of this order read here.
Retrieval noteImage scan; pages 1-3 of 4 read visually. File slug says 'Schools-Closed'; the order's text is the employer/gathering directive described here.
