Students without known health risks are allowed to go outside today

Friday, Sept. 21: WALLA WALLA -- Walla Walla Public Schools students without known health risks associated with poor air quality will be permitted to go outside today for physical education classes and recess.

Walla Walla County Health Director Harvey Crowder reports air quality in Walla Walla County remains compromised and is Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups.

Walla Walla County Health Department recommends:
People with lung and heart disease, stroke, diabetes or a current respiratory infection, infants, children, and older adults, should limit outdoor activities.

"Based on the information we received from the Walla Walla County Health Department, we believe it is safe for kids without health risks to be outside, but we will be keeping children with asthma and known respiratory issues inside," Superintendent Mick Miller said. "We will make a determination regarding afterschool activities by noon."
