A Path to Return to In-Person Learning
At the Governing Board meeting on August 18th, the Board approved the following health benchmarks established by the Arizona Department of Health Services. All three benchmarks must be met to trigger a change in the delivery model from Substantial to Moderate or Moderate to Minimal. Currently, the COVID spread in the community is at a Moderate threshold according to the data sets the Governing Board approved for evaluating our district’s safety.
