Several community members also made their thoughts known during a special meeting with the board Monday night. In response to the growing controversy, a petition was set up calling for Wilk's removal. In addition to the original post that Wilk shared, he also replied to one critic's message who was asking about how the school board might feel about his thoughts, 'How about we allow schools to reopen and Grandma can take the extreme precautions? She can wear a spacesuit when she 'needs' to go out and shop, and the rest of the world can go about their lives, instead of shutting everything down because she might get sick.' 'As many of our families and students conveyed last night, they are appalling, disgusting, and inappropriate for the position he holds,' said another. 'The actions of Board President Wilk during this critical time has taken us away from the most important work that we're here to do,' said one member.

Originally intended to be a meeting to discuss the Northville District's return to schooling in the fall, the added measure came with several speeches delivered by board members. While Tuesday's meeting lasted 5 hours and 23 minutes, the board vote came within the first 20 minutes of the meeting's start.
