NEW: After a recent comprehensive review of Bartow County School System Public Health Protocols by parent, teacher, and principal advisory councils, the following changes to current guidelines have been made and are effective immediately: Bartow County Schools will only be contact tracing if a school is in the “yellow phase,” which means more than 1% of the total student and staff population is COVID-19 positive. Contact tracing is the process of identifying students who may have been exposed to the infection. While in the “green phase,” BCS will only monitor confirmed positive students or students who have been exposed to COVID-19 at home. If your child was exposed at home but has immunity, he/she may return to school, but is expected to wear a mask and remain symptom free. Daily temperature checks for these individuals will no longer be conducted by school nurses. Without immunity, prior system guidelines apply. If your school documents an increase in COVID-19 cases and moves into the “yellow phase,” all prior system quarantine guidelines apply, and protocols remain unchanged for students who test positive for COVID-19. As always, thank you for your continued patience and understanding as COVID-19 evolves in our community and new information is released regularly by public health officials. We remain committed to safety and high levels of learning for all students.
