Prevention & Response Plans to COVID 19

The focus of the Mitchell County School System is to avoid and/or minimize opportunities for sustained exposure to COVID 19 for all faculty, staff, and students.  By definition, exposure only occurs when someone is closer than 3 feet for more than 15 minutes to someone else who has also been exposed (or tested positive). If a mask is worn and 3 feet distancing is maintained, contact with a person who has tested positive does not mean you have been exposed and you are not required to be sent home from school.
MCSS has implemented the following safety protocols and enhanced mitigation measures:

     Enhanced Social Distancing Measures (optional masks, smaller class sizes, 3 foot distancing,    Temperature Checks, Regular Handwashing,  Regular/deep cleaning of classrooms and buses)

Additional Enhanced Mitigation Measures:

Limited visitors allowed in any of the school buildings
Use of UV Wands by all employees to sanitize frequently used surfaces
