Dec 15, 2020 The Stillwater Board of Education met again Tuesday to approve a set of safety protocols for the beginning of the spring semester. From Jan. 4-Feb. 12, Stillwater students will attend school on an alternating or A/B schedule, unless the COVID-19 alert level drops to Green or Yellow for at least two consecutive weeks or increases to Red, which triggers distance learning. The Board members said they wanted to provide a mechanism to get back to traditional instruction if infection levels, which have been at level Red and Orange 2 for most of the fall semester, begin to drop. But they said after consulting with health officials, they are expecting Payne County to continue alternating between Orange 2 and Red for the next six weeks.
