As a result of discussion at a special meeting of the SCSD 1 Board of Trustees on Monday evening with Sublette County Health Officer Dr. Brendan Fitzsimmons, Sublette County School District #1 has decided to continue with their Adapted Learning Plan for the remainder of the year. School District Superintendent, Jay Harnack said they would be seeking an exemption from the County Health Officer for limited in-person instruction for students who may need additional support.

The request for an exemption requires approval by the SCSD 1 Board of Trustees, the Sublette County Health Official, and the Wyoming Department of Education. If approved, the school district will share the exemption, the specifics of the protocols required, and the anticipated start date for in-person instruction.

The school district said it is also important to remember public health order Number 2 limiting public gatherings to 10 persons or fewer has been extended through May 15.

"Should Public Health Orders be issued that change the requirements for public schools after May 18th, SCSD 1 will reevaluate our existing plan in relation to the revisions," Harnack said.
