Su: CCSC Operational Adjustments
There has been a whirlwind of activity occurring around the state during the past 72 hours as schools, governmental leaders, health officials, and many more attempt to determine strategies to ensure the health and safety of each individual. From the decision by the IHSAA to postpone this weekend’s boys basketball regional, school corporations electing to close their doors, data collected on the travel plans of our students, staff, and parents; and the governor’s 20 – Day waiver of school days, hard decisions are being faced, and are being made with one committed priority in mind – the health and safety of the children and staff.
I appreciate, respect, and trust those providing the leadership our schools need during this unprecedented time. I thank them from the bottom of my heart – there is nothing, absolutely nothing that deserves our full attention more than when circumstances present challenges that may endanger our children.
With the recent activity it has become necessary, and quite frankly time, for CCSC to execute our strategy in response to the on-going health concerns in our country and state. Thus, the following information is being provided for the awareness of everyone:
Fountain and Warren Health Department Guidance
(Guidance provided as of March 12, 2020)
CCSC will strictly adhere to the recommendation of the CDC and governor.
Those traveling outside of the United States, or to other states outside of necessary routine travel, are recommended to observe a 14-day period of self-isolation upon their return to the area.
Note: Routine travel includes
CCSC will strictly adhere to this recommendation.
Taking into account the above guidance, the direction Governor Holcomb has provided, the input from Dr. McCormick and the Indiana Department of Education, as well as information gathered from many other school superintendents, the Covington Community School Corporation will implement the following adjustments to our operational schedules:
Note: Due to the nature of this extended E-Learning period our building leaders and staff members will be working to identify guideline parameters to ensure rigorous and relevant lesson instruction occurs in an efficient manner. Information will be provided to students and parents during the week of March 16.
Note: It should be understood that any, or all, of the above operational adjustments may be modified at any point and time information becomes available that dictates a change be made.
The leadership team will continue to closely monitor developments related to the coronavirus (COVID-19). Further, my team and I will continue to communicate relevant details with the school – community.
While I regret the above adjustments are required, I firmly believe the school corporation is doing what is Right, at the Right time, and for the Right reason – The KIDS – The STAFF – The SCHOOL – COMMUNITY.
Thank you.
Kevin
