SAN ANTONIO ā South San Antonio Independent School District is delaying its next move in its phase-in process since the COVID-19 positivity rate in Bexar County is now over 5% again.
And we always knew that if the data showed a higher risk, that we would adjust their schedule,ā said Jenny Suniga Collier, public information officer of South San ISD.
Metro Health currently deems the school risk moderate, a week after it was considered low because the positivity rate rose above the 5% benchmark in a matter of days.
San Antonio ISD said it also would not allow more students in classrooms.
District officials are waiting for local health data to show a positivity rate of 5% or less for two weeks.
