PRINEVILLE, OR -- Crook County School District wanted to get K-3 students back in class September 8^th, but the county came up short on meeting state metrics. Jason Carr at the school district says the county’s infection rate of 21 per 100-thousand people is well within metrics of 30-per 100 thousand. He says the percentage of positive cases is supposed to be 5-per cent or less and Crook county is at 5-point-6-per cent. He says the metrics will be reviewed every two weeks to give parents a chance to plan ahead. He says if they meet metrics September 14^th, K-3 students will get back in class Monday, September 28^th. Carr says to get 4^th grade to 12^th grade students back in class, the metrics are stricter.
