New ODE Guidelines

Governor Brown held a press conference on Friday with Colt Gil, Director of ODE. They released new metrics and updated guidelines for schools. Here are highlights that apply to HT:

• Cohort size increases from 10 to 20 students
• On campus, in person learning for K-6 can return when the county case rate per 100,000 is less than 50.0 over 14 days
  • Previous grade ranges were: K-3 rate <30, 4-8 rate <10
  • Previous time frame was over three weeks

We will work this week to see what positive changes can be made at HTCS based on these new guidelines. Mrs. Sheridan will attend two meetings this week before any adjustments will be announced.

• Wednesday, ODE webinar for Private Schools
• Thursday, Dept. of Catholic Schools Principal meeting

Here are resources to understand the new metrics and updated guidelines:

• Press Briefing on 10-30-20 with Governor Kate Brown, ODE Director Colt Gill and Dr. Tom Jeanne with OHA
• General Metrics Table with Exceptions
• One-Time Snapshot of the two week “look back” report – Please note: OHA will release data every Monday In a similar format with cumulative two week data by county.
• ODE’s all-in-one-place metrics webpage – This includes the two metrics resources above and will have OHA’s most updated data each week.
