update

Today, the Oregon Department of Education released the 3rd version of Ready Schools, Safe Learners guidance for the upcoming school year.  The full document can be viewed or downloaded here.

The major change in this guidance release is that all students will be required to wear a face covering during time on campus.  ODE will be distributing face coverings (KN95 Face Masks from FEMA) to school districts.  The Siuslaw SD already has a supply of cloth and surgical style masks for students, as well as face shields.

There has been no change in the guidance about physical distancing in school settings - 6 feet linear and 35 square feet person - as well as cohort attendance and tracking.

The next round of guidance updates will be August 11, 2020.
