DEATH NOTICES KEVIN RICHART IdahoEdNews Originally posted on IdahoEdNews.org on Au- gust 30, 2021 With schools returning to session and mask mandates scarce coro- navirus cases continued to rise among school-age children. Last week, the state reported 630 new coro- navirus cases involving 5- to 17-year-olds. a 21 percent increase from the previous count, 522 youth cases.

These numbers are only a raw case count un- clear where these children live or where they attend school. State officials are still trying to figure out a way to report K-12 case numbers, as Idaho Edu- cation News reported last week. Some districts do report case numbers. West Ada, for example, reported five active cases Mon- day. Classes in the largest district resumed Thursday, under a policy that allows parents to opt their kids out of mask re- quirements.

The Boise School Dis- trict, meanwhile, reported 14 cases between June 8 and Aug. 15. Fall classes began on Aug. 16. Overall, new coronavi- rus cases decreased last week but by the nar- rowest of margins.

The state and its seven health districts reported 217,921 confirmed or probable coronavirus cases Friday, a one-week increase of 4,820 cases. A week ago, the new case count came in at 4,827.
