The Washoe County School District has released its Outbreak Response Plan for schools during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was written in collaboration with the Washoe County Health District and contains essential components for reporting illnesses, controlling the spread, and communication in the schools during outbreaks.  The plan says training staff is essential. It outlines how school staff should take calls from parents who are calling in to report a medical absence and includes a script with questions that should be asked. It also outlines communication steps within the school.  WCSD has also developed a sanitizing procedure to address an increase in frequency and applications during outbreaks. This includes buildings and transport vehicles, such as buses.
