Governor’s Orders on Sharing Positive COVID-19 Cases

Dr. Amy Crouse, Superintendent, Loveland City School District (Provided)
On September 4, Governor Mike DeWine issued an order on COVID data reporting and notification protocols for K-12 schools. This order is effective September 8, 2020. In response to this order, the district will be posting a COVID-19 dashboard on our website that will include the number of new positive cases each week in our schools.
The district tracker does not reflect cases that happen outside of LCSD, at home, or in the community. Based on our experiences with COVID-19 cases on athletic teams that occurred before school started, we have been able to further adjust mitigation efforts (masking, distancing, hand sanitizing, and cleaning) to prevent any additional exposure. Additionally, these same mitigation efforts, coupled with the blended model we have implemented PK-12, will limit exposures in school.
