In July 2021 the superintendent opposed mandatory mask mandates imposed by the Oregon state government during the COVID-19 pandemic in Oregon.[5] However in August the district required face coverings and the superintendent expressed concern regarding COVID-19 in the area. The superintendent stated that she would prefer that in-person instruction remain.[6]
