Superintendent Message – CDC Update

On July 8th, I released the Pendleton School District draft plan for opening schools for the 2021-2022 school year.  A key element of our plan was for face coverings to be optional.  To date, that plan is still the preferred course as we get nearer to the start up of school.  However, since that release, a couple of things have happened that may impact our plans.

First, the COVID-19 case rates and test positivity rates for Umatilla County have dramatically increased over the last three weeks.  Umatilla County now has the highest case rates/100,000 people and the second highest test positivity rates, according to the Oregon Health Authority.

And second, the Center for Disease Control just released this afternoon a change in their recommendations for schools relative to face coverings.  This change could impact the guidance from the Oregon Department of Education and the Oregon Health Authority.

For the time being, we will continue with our current plans until we receive notice of any required changes to our plans.  Please continue to check our website and Facebook pages regularly.

Respectfully,
Chris Fritsch

July 8, 2021 OPENING SCHOOL DRAFT PLAN

*****

Mensaje del superintendente
27 de julio de 2021

El 8 de julio, publiqué el borrador del plan del Distrito Escolar de Pendleton para abrir escuelas para el
año escolar 2021-2022. Un elemento clave de nuestro plan era que las cubiertas faciales fueran
opcionales. Hasta la fecha, ese plan sigue siendo el curso preferido a medida que nos acercamos al inicio
de la escuela. Sin embargo, desde ese lanzamiento, han sucedido un par de cosas que pueden afectar
nuestros planes.

Primero, las tasas de casos de COVID-19 y las tasas de positividad de las pruebas para el condado de
Umatilla han aumentado drásticamente durante las últimas tres semanas. El condado de Umatilla ahora
tiene las tasas de casos más altas / 100,000 personas y las segundas tasas de positividad de pruebas más
altas, según la Autoridad de Salud de Oregon.

Y en segundo lugar, el Centro para el Control de Enfermedades acaba de publicar esta tarde un cambio
en sus recomendaciones para las escuelas en relación con las cubiertas faciales. Este cambio podría
afectar la orientación del Departamento de Educación de Oregón y la Autoridad de Salud de Oregón.
Por el momento, continuaremos con nuestros planes actuales hasta que recibamos un aviso de
cualquier cambio requerido en nuestros planes. Continúe visitando nuestro sitio web y las páginas de
Facebook con regularidad.

Respetuosamente,
Chris Fritsch
