Flagstaff Unified School District #1 issued the following announcement on Oct. 9
FUSD will remain in full remote learning and continue to monitor health data.
FUSD must be within the Moderate (Yellow) community spread level, with all three benchmarks in the yellow and green categories for two consecutive weeks of data to initiate the phased return to in-person learning at schools.
The highest risk color (i.e. Red is highest, then Yellow, then Green) shown in any benchmark on the chart below over the two-week period determines the overall risk level. For example, if the health benchmarks show 2 Greens and 1 Yellow, the risk level will be Moderate because Yellow is the higher risk value. If any one of the benchmarks is the Substantial (Red) community spread level, FUSD will continue with full remote learning as it has for the 1st quarter of the 2020-2021 school year.
Health Indicators for Initiating Return to In-Person Learning
FUSD will use the health benchmark data included on the weekly COVID-19 Coconino County Schools Update for decision-making. This week’s report is available here. According to the report issued on October 9, 2020, FUSD is designated in the Substantial (Red) community spread level with the following health benchmark data:
