The Pleasant View R-6 Board of Education will implement the “Test to Stay” COVID-19 guidance following action taken at Monday night’s meeting.
According to R-6 Superintendent Rebecca Steinhoff, the board voted to approve the policy, which allows students who have been identified as a close contact to a positive COVID case in the school to stay in school under certain conditions, including testing negative three times in the first seven days of the quarantine period. Those involved in extracurricular activities would have to test negative on the day of the event. The new guidelines were released by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Health and Senior Services on Oct. 8. Mrs. Steinhoff said the policy will be implemented as soon as tests become available to the district.
In other business, the board approved MSBA policy updates and heard a report from Mrs. Steinhoff, which included an update on the school calendar.
The next meeting has been scheduled for 6 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 11, which is a change in the regular meeting date.
