2021-2022 Fargo Public Schools COVID-19 Mitigation Strategies
For the 2021-2022 school year, Fargo Public Schools will strive to resume all school operations to the best of it’s ability while continuing to follow COVID-19 mitigation strategies approved by the Fargo Board of Education. These strategies are:
- Screening, testing, ventilation, proper handwashing, and respiratory etiquette.
- Asking students and staff to stay home when experiencing ill symptoms and getting tested.
- Universal indoor masking for all staff, students, and visitors to buildings.
- Maintaining three feet of physical distance between students, to the best of the school’s ability.
- COVID-19 post-exposure guidelines of:
- Mask to mask exposure: exemption to quarantine
- Fully vaccinated contacts: if no symptoms, no quarantine but should monitor for symptoms.
- If one or both individuals are unmasked: 14-day quarantine. Contacts may release from quarantine after day 10 if no symptoms or after day 7 with a negative test collected on day 5 or later.
This approach differs from the 2020-2021 school year where many school operations, such as facility rentals and field trips, and activities were limited or cancelled. At this time, those operations are expected to continue while following the mitigation strategies outlined above.
