Scenario I: Measures already underway to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Scenario II: Measures to be taken if there are two or more community transmission cases of COVID-19, but no individuals within the school test positive.

Scenario III: Measures to be taken if one student, teacher or staff member tests positive for COVID-19 and exposed others at the school.

Scenario IV: Measures to be taken if multiple schools within a school district have a student, teacher or staff member test positive for COVID-19.
