Lansing School Gating Criteria and Leavenworth County Numbers
Lansing School District's Gating Criteria, which was adopted August 27, 2020, is summarized in the graph below. The three criteria include:
- Two-week county percent positive rate
- Trend in county incidence rate
- New cases per 100,000 population
We look at all three criteria and consult with the Leavenworth County Health Department to determine our mode of school for the next two weeks.
When looking at the criteria for the last two weeks as of yesterday, September 28, we were in the red in one of the three criteria, and it was determined we would stay in school for this coming week.
To help our community better understand the graphs shared by Leavenworth County Health Department and posted on the www.usd469.net website, below is a guide on how to locate the data points used by our health department, using the September 28th graph as an example:
As a community we need to continue to be vigilant in our mitigation procedures. Social distancing and mask wearing are the best options we have to help stop the spread of the virus.
