All Clinton County Schools will be starting on their scheduled date. We will also:
• Require staff and students to have a face covering with them at all times. There will be certain situations, including on a bus and some in school settings, when wearing a face covering will be required for both students and staff.
• Require students and staff to be fever free for 72 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication before returning to school.
• Maximize instructional space in scheduling flexibility.
• Use enhanced cleaning procedures.
• Adjust lunches to maximize available open space and utilize alternative scheduling to adhere to safety guidelines.
• Allow students to bring their own water bottle to school.
• Use separate spaces in and near school clinics to treat symptomatic students.
• Discontinue perfect attendance initiatives.
• Restrict visitors and guests in our school building.
In conjunction with the Clinton County Health Department, Clinton County Public Schools will have a common response to confirm cases of COVID-19, and ongoing consultation will inform the decisions regarding keeping schools open.
Note: To read the full reopening plans for each School Corporation, go to the school’s website where they will be located by mid-July.
Thank you for supporting your Clinton County Public Schools as we look forward to a safe reopening for the 2020 – 2021 school year.
