Teton County School District No. 1 advised Munger Mountain Elementary School families on Friday that students who rode Bus 17 in the morning or afternoon this past week may have been exposed to a COVID-19-positive individual.
âDue to the large number of students this may impact, it is being sent to the entire school,â Principal Scott Eastman said in an email. âPlease disregard if your student did not ride Bus 17 this week.â
A possible exposure does not mean a child will contract the coronavirus, but parents and guardians should monitor for symptoms. Because masks were worn âappropriatelyâ at the time of the exposure, May 17 to 20, students who rode the bus can continue to come to school, and other members of the household donât have to limit their activities.

Masks in schools could be a fixture until the end of the year.
Parents have lobbied the Teton County School District No. 1 Board of Trustees on both sides of the issue, but in the end the district doesnât have much say in the matter. State requirements decide when the district can apply to lift the school mask mandate, and so far the COVID-19 numbers do not allow that.
Even though the Teton County Health Department has moved the county to the âgreenâ risk level, the state lists it as being at higher risk when it comes to masks in schools.
A quick look at what’s on the ballot this election day
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - It s election day for taxing districts across the state. Only a handful of issues are on the ballot.
The Bonneville School District 93 is hoping voters will approve the renewals of their supplemental levy and plant facilities levy. The two levies denied in March when the district tried to increase the levies. This time they are asking voters to renew the levy rate they currently have. The Supplemental Levy is $5.8 million and the Facilities Levy is $2.8 million.
Voters in Zone 3 of the Idaho Falls School District 91 will be deciding if to recall their school board trustee Lara Hill. Petitioners say Hill voted for the hybrid schedule instead of in-person learning which they believe parents wanted.
