When making school-related decisions surrounding Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), or any matter of public health, including school closure, cleaning protocol, and other recommendations, the Rocky River City School District (RRCSD) will always turn to the guidelines and recommendations of the National Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and, by extension, our county health department.
