Look at #5 on this order. If the state of emergency ends the order goes away. Sure would be great to see both end early June if things improve in May.

DIRECTOR’S ORDER
In Re: Second Amended Order the Closure of All K-12 Schools in the State of Ohio

I, Amy Acton, MD, MPH, Director of the Ohio Department of Health (ODH), pursuant to the authority granted to me in R.C. 3701.13 to “make special orders…for preventing the spread of contagious or infectious diseases” Order the following to prevent the spread of COVID-19 into the State of Ohio:
1.All school buildings that provide any kindergarten through grade twelve instruction in the State of Ohio are to remain closed to students until 11:59 p.m. on June 30, 2020.

2.For the purpose of clarity, this closure does not include administrators, teachers, staff, vendors or contractors of a school. The administration of each school shall determine the appropriate level of access to the school during the closure, while promoting healthy practices such as hand washing, disinfecting surfaces, and encouraging social distancing. Telework options should be explored and encouraged whenever feasible.

3.This Order does not apply to and/or excludes activities or events at schools for voting, food services, boarding schools holding a charter from the State Board of Education, health services, charitable work or any activity approved by the local health department.

4.This Order does not apply to and/or excludes day camps licensed by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, targeted educational support programs, and other educational programming that are approved, in writing, by the local health department before the activity or use commences or continues. A copy of the approval must be provided to both ODH and the Ohio Department of Education. Any approved activity must follow Social Distancing Guidelines found in ODH orders.

5.This Order shall remain in full force and effect until the State of Emergency declared by the Governor no longer exists, or the Director of the Ohio Department of Health rescinds or modifies this Order.

6.To the extent any public official enforcing this order has questions regarding the closure of a school under this Order, the Director of Health hereby delegates to local health departments the authority to answer questions in writing and consistent with this Order.
