We will continue to rely on the Joint Health and Safety Committee comprised of Public Health staff, school administrators, and school staff representatives who advise the Superintendent and regularly review the following:
1. State Department of Public Health and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education health metrics;
2. Positivity Rates (14-day average) below 5 percent using state, county, and relative rate of change in average;
3. Adherence to NPS expectations for health and safety measures, including mask wearing, hygiene/hand washing, and meeting standards for proper ventilation of schools and classrooms.
The district's health and safety protocols are available for review. You will find them listed and linked in the left-hand column of this page.
