The Lansing USD 469 Board of Education voted on and approved updated Gating Criteria during their December 14th meeting. The three criteria are as follows:

This updated criteria moves the two-week county percent positive rate to 15%, matching the recommendation from Leavenworth County Health Department. If all three criteria listed at the top of the graph are in the red (two-week county percent positive rate over 15%, upward trend in county incidence rate, and new cases per 100,000 population over 200) for two weeks, the Board of Education will convene after the Monday report to discuss the school learning mode.
