Effective March 1, 2024
When staff and students get sick with a respiratory virus, the updated Center for Disease Control (CDC) guidance recommends that they stay home and away from others. For staff and students with COVID-19 and influenza, treatment is available and can lessen symptoms and lower the risk of severe illness. The recommendations suggest returning to normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, symptoms are improving overall, and if a fever was present, it has been gone without use of a fever-reducing medication.
Face Coverings
The Board of Education also approved that face coverings for all students, staff, visitors and contractors shall be optional inside and outside all District buildings and premises.
- The District will continue to provide face coverings at District schools/buildings.
- No bullying or harassment of students or staff will be tolerated regarding the individual's decision whether or not to wear a face covering.
Criteria for Special Board Meeting to Revisit COVID-19 Protocols
At the July 25, 2022 Board of Education meeting, the Board voted to hold a special board meeting to determine if the District shall implement COVID-19 mitigation measures, including but not limited to face coverings, if one of the following conditions are met:
- Brown County new COVID-19 hospital admissions per 100,000 population (7-day total) exceed 20 individuals,
- OR the percent of staffed inpatient beds occupied by COVID-19 patients (7-day average) is greater than 15%.
