The Return to Learn: Continuation of Services Plan is updated as of Feb. 11, 2022. 

Moore Public Schools is adjusting our COVID-19 safety protocols, following recent changes made by the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), and the Cleveland County Health Department (CCHD). They are following newly-released guidelines and will phase out universal case investigation and contact tracing.

MPS is following suit in our Return to Learn (RTL) Plan, and the changes go into effect Monday, Feb. 14.

CHANGES TO THE MPS RETURN TO LEARN (RTL) PLAN:

• MPS will no longer conduct contact tracing on a case-by-case basis. Instead, we will focus our resources on conducting outbreak or “hot-spot” investigations as necessary. This will be used to determine if quarantine or temporary closure for a class, grade level, or school site is necessary. 
• MPS will no longer notify each individual identified as a “close contact” OR notify a building or campus of a positive case. Instead, MPS will notify families and staff who may be involved in an outbreak or “hot spot” incident.  
• MPS will no longer require “close contacts” who are not experiencing any symptoms to quarantine following an exposure, regardless of vaccination status. That said, if you’re currently out due to exposure, you should finish your quarantine period per directions from your contact tracer. 

 CONTINUED EFFORTS:

• MPS will continue monitoring data, tracking, and collecting self-reported positive COVID-19 cases for students and staff. This includes our weekly report of positive cases on the district’s website here. 
• MPS will continue to require anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 to isolate for 5 days, regardless of vaccination status. 

As always, families should keep students home from school if they are sick or exhibit symptoms of illness, and employees who are sick should not report to work. We appreciate your support and assistance as we continue to move through the 2021-22 academic school year.
