Positive Case Response Plan
Lake Washington School District takes all positive COVID-19 cases seriously. We have a comprehensive COVID-19 Positive Case Report Response process that includes reporting the case to Public Health, communicating information as needed to affected staff, parents/students (also called close contacts), and implementing our cleaning protocols that includes cleaning, disinfecting and sanitizing work spaces as required.
Current Health and Safety Data from King County Public Health
King County schools continue to be listed as high-risk per the Washington Department of Health K-12 In-Person Learning Provisions Toolkit (formerly called the Decision Tree). These data help us in our planning to know when conditions are such that we can begin to bring back students for in-person learning.
