This week, there are three Stillwater schools on the state’s outbreak list: Stillwater Area High School, Wildwood Elementary and St. Croix Catholic School.

A school is deemed to have an outbreak when it reports five or more confirmed cases of the virus in students or staff who were in the building while infectious during the most recent two-week reporting period.
