Parents,
I have complete faith that our country is going to get past this Coronavirus challenge, and I don't want to create any panic, but I do have some additional updates I want to share with you.
Many parents have called or emailed me and I want you to know that while I do not have the authority to declare a State of Emergency, nor close our schools, the health of our students and our community is my top concern.
To be clear, as of today we do not have any reported infections in our school system though we expect this could change.
Over the last three weeks, our system has been planning for staged responses to the impact of the Coronavirus in our area. This staged response includes plans to close schools for short term and long-term periods if necessary.
In addition to the previous notifications we are implementing another stage of response this evening.
Effective immediately, all in-state and out-of-state school sponsored travel has been cancelled through the end of spring break. This includes all field trips, academic and extra-curricular activities. Athletic events are at the discretion of the school athletic directors, coaches and state athletic association. We will evaluate travel for April and May at the appropriate time.
We will keep you up to date with changes as they become necessary. Please contact your principal for questions related to your student or situation.
Eddie Tyler,
Superintendent
