Avondale Phase 4 Learning
Avondale School District will offer only remote learning durning this phase, from September 1st to November 6th.
In Phase Four, the number of new cases and deaths has fallen for a period of time, but overall case levels are still high. Most new outbreaks are quickly identified, traced, and contained due to robust testing infrastructure and rapid contact tracing. Health system capacity can typically handle these new outbreaks, and therefore case fatality rate does not rise above typical levels. The overall number of infected individuals still indicate the need for distancing to stop transmission and move to the next phase. Schools permitted to open for in-person instruction with more stringent required safety protocols.
