Beginning in the 2020.2021 school year, schools were required to add an advisory section to their website with the following information:

• Schools will be asked to post information if there is a confirmed case of COVID-19 that involves a student or a staff member in a school setting.
• Students or staff members may withdraw from school if a family or household member has a confirmed case of COVID-19 but information will not be posted in these instances.
• In the interests of privacy, information provided to school communities will not identify the student or staff member that has received a positive COVID-19 test.
• If public health advises that a class, cohort or a school should be closed for a period of time, parents, students and staff will be notified immediately.
• Notice of any closures of classes, cohorts or schools will be posted on school COVID-19 advisory sections.
