Kamehameha Schools Hawaii has a student who tested positive for COVID-19, and the campus will now revert to online/distance learning.

Numerous parents started posting on Facebook on Wednesday that their children were apparently in lockdown on the campus.  A student who had ridden the bus to school had tested positive; his parents notified the school yesterday morning.  The Kamehameha Schools COVID-19 response team began notifying those who had been in contact with the student so they can isolate.

Parents report that the school will move to online learning today through at least August 31, as the school assesses the situation.  One parent shared this on Facebook, as part of a notice sent to families from the school:   “The school’s enterprise safety leaders will monitor and assess conditions throughout the month of August to see if the curve could be re-flattened so we could resume on-campus instruction as we had intended. We will continue to share updates and forecasts for where we may be headed in the days ahead.”
