The North'Mason School District had planned
to return students in kindegarten through the sec-
ond grade registered in the “hybrid” model back to
school for two days a week, starting today, but the
latest data on COVID-19 infections has put a pause
on those plans, according to Superintendent Dana
Rosenbach.
of Health and Labor and Industries, and the health
departments for Mason and Kitsap counties.
Rosenbach said key indicators the district looks
at include the number of COVID cases per thousand,
trends in COVID cases and hospitalizations, and po-
tential risks to the‘health of educators and students.
“Our data points are kind of split,” Rosenbach
said. “Our case numbers are up, but the hospitalizae
tion rates are low for Mason County, and the of
our population that’s testing positive for COVID is
set an exact date, but as soon as it’s safe, our staff '
is prepared to turn on a dime to make it happen,
and we’ll all work together to make the hybrid model
work.”
Even after the hybrid model is implemented, spe-
cialists will continue to provide all classes remotely
so students will be on campus for a modified day
from 9:20 am. to 2:50 p.m., with specialist classes
available outside the in-person day.. ,
