OSTC Update
Dear OSTC Parents,
The Oakland County Health Division has changed the COVID-19 Risk Determination Level for Oakland County to an "E" category, the highest risk level on their Guidance for In-Person Instruction chart. A level E risk determination means that there are 150 or greater cases per million with a 20 or greater percent positivity rate.
Due to the significant increase and prevalence of COVID-19 in Oakland County (Risk Level "E" - Highest Risk category) and the presence of active COVID-19 cases in our sending district schools, the four Oakland Schools Technical Campuses (NE, NW, SE, SW) are returning to virtual instruction for all of our students effective November 3, 2020. Students will return to the same virtual platform and learning experience through the entire month of November that they experienced the last eight weeks. Additional information and updates regarding future instructional delivery models will be provided as we navigate these unprecedented times.
In the meantime, please continue to follow all COVID-19 health and safety recommendations from the Oakland County Health Division and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
