RED WING -- Students will return to classrooms in stages as planned.
The Red Wing School Board discussed pandemic-related issues for nearly two hours Thursday, Jan. 7, opting not to rescind the plan adopted Dec. 21.
Use of actual face masks -- not just face coverings -- will be monitored and enforced for students and staff alike. All COVID-19 safety measures must be followed, Board member Arlen Diercks said, or the return will fail.
“And you’ll be hearing my wrath,” Diercks warned.
Board member Anna Ostendorf, one of three new members, expressed disappointment that the Goodhue County case rate released Thursday is higher than expected. The projected Christmas and New Year’s spikes won’t arrive for another week at least.
