Explaining the Risk Dial
The position of the Risk Dial is based on multiple local indicators and information from the previous three weeks. Below are five of the key factors they consider:
Case numbers. Does the trend shows an increase or decrease in case numbers?
Positivity rate. The average weekly positivity rate for the last three weeks- Is it going increasing or decreasing?
Contact tracing capacity. Is the number of contact tracers available to conduct case investigations sufficient and can keep pace with demand?
Is testing completed and results available in a timely manner or are there delays of the investigative process which impacts the department's ability to prevent the development of case clusters or outbreaks.
Hospital capacity. What is the percent of ICU beds available and ventilators available?
Testing capacity. How many individuals have been tested and how many tests are completed each week?

This committee has no voting power but is a communication tool for the Co-Op. The committee will meet a minimum of three times a year, once during the summer, in between volleyball and basketball, and in between basketball and track/golf. Periodically, a need may arise to meet to discuss immediate concerns. Both districts will, in good faith, honor the other district’s request in a timely manner. At these times, discussion about the Co-Op will take place. Also, recommendations for any changes to the Coach’s Handbook can be made at this time. It is the expectation that committees operate in good faith and use professional judgment. If a committee member has an issue with a coach or is operating in bad faith, said member would be required/expected to recuse himself or herself prior to the discussion of the issue at hand.
