Operative words

There are currently two pathways to enforcement of face covering requirements in schools: OAR 333-019-1015 adopted by OHA, and the Oregon Safe Employment Act (temporary amendment to rule to be adopted by OROSHA).... Failure to enforce: Fine based on serious violations...; $100 to $2,600. Willful negligence: Fine based on size of the business...; $8,900 to $126,749.... Each separate school building that fails to comply may be considered a separate violation of OAR 333-019-1015 for the purposes of calculating civil penalties up to $500 per day per school building.

Enforcement

As quoted; TSPC discipline of licensed educators (OAR 584-020-0040)
