It’s been called one of the jewels of Sedona. And for some residents, they’d like to see that jewel on public display more than it is these days.
The Sedona Community Pool opened in 1974 by the Sedona-Oak Creek School District, which still owns the facility. Through an intergovernmental agreement, the city is responsible for operations, repairs and improvements of the pool while school programs take priority over public programming.

On the afternoon of Friday, Dec. 11, Sedona-Oak Creek School District announced that a West Sedona School student had tested positive for COVID-19. This marks the second students at the school for preschoolers through sixth graders, with the first coming on Dec. 7, along with eight students and one staff member at Sedona Red Rock Jr./Sr. High School since Oct.23.
“Today, we received notification that a WSS student has tested positive for COVID-19,” SOCSD Superintendent and SRRHS Principal Dennis Dearden wrote in an e-mailed letter to district families, students and staff. “This student’s exposure to the virus was outside of school, and they were last on campus on Tuesday, December 8. While we must protect the privacy of the person involved, we believe it is best to communicate transparently with you so you can make well-informed decisions for your family.
