Gibbon Public Schools

Gibbon Public Schools is deeply committed to keeping our students and staff safely in school.  To help us accomplish this goal, we are adding to our Return to Schools Protocols a process that answers the question, "How will we approach a decision to require masks?"  This question was discussed and deliberated with action taken during September 13th's regular board of education meeting.  The process includes; 1) When 5% of the student population has tested positive for COVID-19 or one of the variants, 2) When we are unable to keep our certified teaching staff in the classroom and/or we are unable to secure enough subs to cover for the number of teachers out ill, 3) We will evaluate in 14-day cycles, and 4) A review panel consisting of the board president, vice president, school nurse and the superintendent will conduct the 14-day evaluation to determine if conditions require an immediate move to wear masks, shutdown the school, or move into a remote learning environment.
