The Idaho State Board of Education on Thursday unanimously approved criteria for school districts and charter schools to follow once schools reopen.

The School District and Charter School Re-entry Criteria (Return from Soft-Closure) details the minimum re-entry criteria required for schools to move from soft closures to normal operations, completed in consultation with local and state health officials.

“These criteria are the result of a tremendous amount of input from stakeholders, including superintendents in the various regions, the teachers association, the school administrators association and the school boards association,” said SBE member Linda Clark. “I think it is a very strong document that will provide appropriate guidance for our districts that wish to reopen.”
