After receiving information that a parent may have been exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 and was self-quarantining, we followed state protocol and contacted the school health hotline that has been set up for school personnel. The Arkansas Department of Health conducted an investigation and determined that there was no direct risk and that we should continue to follow the guidelines set forth by the Governor’s office, the Arkansas Department of Health, and the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education. We understand that reports such as this may cause concern, but we assure you we are remaining in contact with the Arkansas Department of Health regarding any report we may receive of possible COVID-19 exposure.
