Good Morning,
A few moments ago Governor Kate Brown spoke at a press conference. Here is a brief summary of her remarks and the impacts on your schools, staff, and students:
- Large gatherings (250+ people) are suspended through April 8th. This applies to organized public gatherings, not stores, malls, etc.
- Schools are not being closed, but non-essential school activities such as parent meetings, allowing spectators at sporting events, and field trips are canceled.
- The Governor emphasized that school closure will be a last resort.
- The Governor emphasized that these measures are being taken to: 1. Slow transmission of COVID-19 and 2. Preserve hospital capacity for the most severely impacted individuals.
We will continue to share information as it becomes available.
