The next surge of Covid-19 cases is now here in Arizona and the amount of infected are steadily increasing. Deer Valley’s district is one of the districts with one of the lowest Covid-19 rates, but the Board of Education is focusing on statewide cases. Arizona is struggling with keeping cases low due to school being back in person. Cases in Arizona went from a few hundred during online school to a few thousand after transitioning back into in person learning.
