District Clarifies Mask Guidelines During School Hours

On May 19, the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) clarified its face covering requirements based on updated information from the Oregon Health Authority (OHA). Although ODE eased some of the restrictions on face coverings for activities in its Ready Schools, Safe Learners (RSSL) guidance, the Pendleton School District is not going to change anything for the rest of the 20-21 school year.  Students and staff will continue to wear a face covering during regular school hours.

According to Superintendent Chris Fritsch, with only eight days of school left for students, the district does not want to change rules that administrators, teachers, staff and students will need to adapt to with such a short amount of time left in this school year. “We have been through so many changes this year and don’t want more confusion at this time, so we will finish the 20-21 year using our current rules,” Fritsch said.

The RSSL update mainly updated requirements for outdoor activities at schools, but ODE stated that the provisions are optional and school districts may still choose to require face coverings universally at all times. The press release from ODE also states that if a school is located in a community experiencing increased rates of COVID-19, the district should strongly consider maintaining universal requirements for face coverings. Umatilla County’s test positivity rate remains high.

EL DISTRITO ACLARA LAS DIRECTRICES DE LAS MÁSCARAS DURANTE EL HORARIO ESCOLAR

El 19 de mayo, el Departamento de Educación de Oregon (ODE) aclaró sus requisitos de cobertura facial basándose en información actualizada de la Autoridad de Salud de Oregon (OHA). Aunque ODE alivió algunas de las restricciones sobre las cubiertas faciales para las actividades en su guía Escuelas Preparadas, Estudiantes Seguros (RSSL), el Distrito Escolar de Pendleton no cambiará nada durante el resto del año escolar 20-21. Los estudiantes y el personal continuarán usando una cubierta facial durante el horario escolar regular.

Según el superintendente Chris Fritsch, con solo ocho días de clases para los estudiantes, el distrito no quiere cambiar las reglas a las que los administradores, maestros, personal y estudiantes deberán adaptarse con tan poco tiempo restante en este año escolar. “Hemos pasado por tantos cambios este año y no queremos más confusión en este momento, así que terminaremos el año 20-21 usando nuestras reglas actuales”, dijo Fritsch.

La actualización de RSSL actualizó principalmente los requisitos para las actividades al aire libre en las escuelas, pero la ODE declaró que las disposiciones son opcionales y que los distritos escolares aún pueden optar por exigir cubrimientos faciales universalmente en todo momento. El comunicado de prensa de ODE también establece que si una escuela está ubicada en una comunidad que experimenta un aumento en las tasas de COVID-19, el distrito debe considerar seriamente mantener los requisitos universales para cubrirse el rostro. La tasa de positividad de las pruebas del condado de Umatilla sigue siendo alta.
