The Edmond Public School district is seeing a drastic decrease in COVID-19 cases. Currently, only 0.36% of students and staff have active cases of the virus.
Because of that, and after conversations with the Oklahoma City-County Health Department, the district is switching up its mask and quarantine policies again.
If COVID-19 positive cases stay below 0.5% for 10 consecutive school days, the district will move from required quarantines to quarantine notification.
That means parents will be notified if their child comes in close contact with a COVID-19 positive case. Parents will then decided whether to quarantine their child, ultimately leaving the decision in the parents' hands.
If cases move back up above 0.5% for 5 consecutive days, the district will restart mandatory quarantines.
The mask policy has a different threshold.
If COVID-19 positive cases drop below 0.1% for 10 consecutive school days, the district will set a date to move from masks being required to masks being recommended.
If cases go up again, above 0.1%, for 5 consecutive school days, masks will once again be required.
