During the meeting, Superintendent Mike Daria noted a two-week average positive rate for students of 0.41% and 0.49% for employees, ahead of making his recommendation.

Daria then said if the TCS two-week average infection rates remain stable and close to where we are now on October 18, there will not be a recommendation to extend the universal mask requirement.
