As we conclude our 6th week of school I wanted to provide parents with some perspective on COVID in our community. Both Richland and Vernon Counties are trending in the wrong direction. Bi-weekly case counts per 10,000 residents are trending in the wrong direction and have almost doubled in the last few weeks. School districts across the state are transitioning to virtual learning models on a daily basis. Many districts have created their own metrics or have partnered with local health departments to create them. No one wants to close schools to in-person instruction. When we made the decision to start school early it was based on an assumption that the virus would spread more rapidly as Autumn wore on. This educated guess on our part has proved to be true. Please review the metric that is located on our website, we try to update it every Thursday after school once we have the data from the counties that is necessary to post the information. Vernon County is reporting that over 6% of patients being tested are positive, this ration has also nearly tripled in the last few weeks. The prevalence of COVID in our community is rising, please follow face covering and distancing guidelines as applicable and try to avoid large gatherings.
Have a great weekend!
Mr. Olsen
