There was positive news at Tuesday night’s Lincoln Public Schools Board meeting about the COVID-19 pandemic and it’s impact on LPS and the Lincoln community.
“I do believe this will be my last and our last pandemic report because we’ve received an awful lot of good news through what’s happened in our county,” Joel says. Signs on LPS buildings that recommend people wear masks when indoors will now be removed. “Our students and staff have been fantastic,” Joel says. “I appreciate everyone’s support and well wishes. I think we’ve navigated the pandemic very well and now we’re looking to get back to some sense of normalcy.”
Board Member Dr. Bob Rauner Rauner reviewed data that shows how much positive progress has been made in the community. “Numbers have dropped pretty dramatically over the last few weeks, as has our hospitalization rate since what we had back in August. All numbers are pointing in the right direction.”
Rauner emphasized it’s still important that people receive their third immunization shot to help ensure this positive trajectory continues.
