Weekly Update:
Each week, we look at the Oregon Reopening Metrics Dashboard to determine if/when we can return to on-site instruction in a Hybrid model. State data for Oregon and Lane County has been updated based on the last 14-day period (1/31-2/13). The data link for Lane County is attached below this message. Based on this data; the absolute case count is 194.5 cases; the positivity rate is 2.7%. This is a decrease in cases over the previous two week period. Lane County at this time falls in the On-Site and Hybrid Transition Model (Yellow) zone.
What does this mean?
This is very good news for Lane County and our schools!
Under the new metrics, here, we are able to add more students for Limited In Person Instruction (LIPI), AND begin implementing Hybrid Learning. Those who chose to continue with online learning may do so.
