A lower COVID-19 transmission rate in the St. Louis region and declining case averages have paved the way for Mehlville School District students to attend class five days a week in person, and with more teachers vaccinated the district is looking forward to someday stopping masks.
Mehlville and Oakville high school students started attending class in person five days a week April 19, thanks to vaccinations and those lower transmission and positivity rates.
Despite delivering good news to the Board of Education Feb. 25 in both positivity rates and substitute teacher fill rates, Superintendent Chris Gaines cautioned that there are still quite a lot of unknowns. The district held a two-part vaccination drive in March and April for staff.
