9-9-21 oakfield school masking

The Oakfield School superintendent says data will dictate whether students and staff need to wear masks this school year.    At a special meeting last week the Oakfield School Board dropped it’s mask requirement.  But superintendent Tracey Conners says a mask requirement will be implemented if certain COVID metrics are met.  Conners says if ten percent of students at any site in the district are out with COVID that site would mask for 15 days.  Conners says if the Oakfield School District is listed as Very High COVID transmission on the Public Health Dashboard, the District would be masked for 15 days.  Conners says she feels comfortable with the decision.  She says the goal is keeping schools open and students safe.
