A decision by the Crook County Health Department is prompting a return to in-person learning this month for middle and high school students. That decision is to vaccinate any staff member in the school district that requests a Covid vaccination. The plan is to bring middle and high school students back in-person on January 26th, but online instructional options will continue to be available for students who aren’t comfortable returning to the classroom. District Administrators say they’ve put a safety plan together around Covid-19 in tandem with the health department that sets up new response protocols once someone on campus has been infected with the virus. The district’s also planning to publish a weekly metrics report detailing Covid exposure and testing. K thru 5 students have been attending full-time since the start of the school year in September.
