Decision made in consultation with medical community based upon three factors: 1) seven day look back shows increased case numbers daily, 2) inpatient and ICU beds throughout the state are almost at capacity and local hospitals have a “few” ICU beds and on the verge of diverting, 3) local Covid 19 positive rate greater than 10%.

Our board doesn't even have a plan yet.  They await "guidance" that I know will never come.  Luckily we are done with the school system and are involved with college now but I feel for those who are still trying to plan for their students.
