The percent positive rate last week (meaning the number of positive cases divided by the number of tests administered) is around 31.18 percent, meaning of the 914 tests administered last week, 285 of them returned as positive. The adjusted percent positive rate from the week before increased from 11.67 percent as reported last week, to 14.5 percent. (That number includes results that hadn’t become official when the prior counting period ended).

Other factors are also considered. The district has said it will give parents a one week notice prior to any changes made to how curriculum is delivered.
