We received a reader inquiry regarding how confirmed COVID-19 cases in classrooms are reported by the Edmonds School District, so we asked the district’s communications team about it.
Among the questions raised: Whether district staff was being transparent with the public about classes switching back to in-person learning after a positive case was detected. In addition, the reader wanted to know why the district changed its policy from being open about the number of cases in a school to only telling the affected class.
In response, District Communications Manager Harmony Weinberg said the district does not have any protocols in place to communicate all positive cases to families districtwide.

Since April 7 and returning from spring break, the district has recorded 91 positive cases of COVID-19 across all buildings, resulting in 703 quarantines in a little over a week. That includes five COVID-19 positive tests from Milford High School baseball players, resulting in 94 quarantines on April 16.
