Superintendent Craig Dougherty reported on the Smart Start, which is a partnership with Sheridan County Public Health, which is a way of continuing to evaluate the impact of Covid-19. According to Dougherty, Covid-19 cases are holding at low levels prior to spring break. “We are tracking the data and communicating regularly with health officials,” he said. He added that input from parents and staff is important, and that they are evaluating the situation each and every week, but “even though cases are trending downward in the Sheridan area, we do not want to make any rash decisions.” He said the school is looking into dropping the mask mandate for the rest of the school year. However, the school is watching the situation, they are especially concerned that there may be a spike in positive cases due to exposure after spring break.
