ODE released an updated guidance Monday, March 22. The updated guidance allows for 3 feet of physical distancing under certain conditions in schools, including county COVID-19 case rate levels for students in middle and high school.
Six feet is still recommended for students in common areas and between cohorts of any level.
The updated guidance also removes the 35 square feet requirement, reduces the cohort size limit to 36 students and adds a requirement that all desks face in the same direction.
