Recent changes in school COVID metrics have opened the door to Crook County School District offering full-time, in-person education for all grades
Recent relaxations by state government in school attendance guidelines has opened the door for grades 6-12 to join other students in attending school full time.
Crook County School District Superintendent Sara Johnson announced the possibility of going full time during the second semester, which begins Jan. 26, after the governor announced a change in school mandates in late December. State officials announced (recently) that they re relaxing statewide mandates and returning decision-making authority to local school boards and school districts, Johnson stated. The COVID-19 health metrics, which determine if schools can open, are now advisory instead of mandatory starting Jan. 1.
