With school just around the corner, there’s a big piece of the puzzle that’s still missing for the Wichita Public Schools Board of Education. What will its gating criteria be? The BOE is expected to discuss and vote on this during its 6 p.m. meeting Thursday. Gating is simply a set of metrics that districts put in place and use to determine when and how schools will operate, depending on how bad COVID-19 is in the area. “We went through three different matrices, which was through the KNEA, the Kansas Department of Education, and then Sedgwick County. And so we use those as guidance to basically create our own gating criteria,” said Ron Rosales, Wichita BOE District 6.
