Stockton USD 271 weekly report dated Friday, November 6th, 2020

We continue to see an increase of positive cases within our county. The absenteeism rate is increasing (3.1% above baseline from 2019-2020). The positive testing rate has increased over the last week. There is an increase in the incidence rate in the county, so we are monitoring numbers closely.

We plan to continue in-person learning for the week of November 9-13, 2020. If there is any adjustment required to the learning setting due to concerns in the schools, we will update your family quickly following a decision.

 As of November 6, 2020, USD 271 statistics:

• 19 students in modified quarantine (school) until Monday Nov. 9th

• 17 students in quarantine

• 3 students positive

• 2 staff in modified quarantine (school) until Monday Nov. 9th

• 1 staff in quarantine

• 2 staff members positive

 We would like to ask the community to help us keep our schools opened by helping reduce the spread in our community. This can be accomplished by face coverings, social distancing, good hand hygiene and limit social gatherings. Please keep all students home if they are feeling ill.

We appreciate the support of the community as we work through these issues each week. It is important for us to work together to keep our students, staff, and community safe. Your efforts are noticed and appreciated. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
