The Webster County Board of Education held a meeting on Friday, February 18, 2022 and voted to adjust our Covid-19 school protocols. · Effective Monday, February. 21, 2022, face coverings will become optional for all students and staff members in school facilities and on school buses due to our decline in positivity rates. · There will be no contact tracing within schools. · If a student or staff member tests positive for Covid-19 they must quarantine for 5 days and may return to work or school on day 6 if they are asymptomatic. · Parents, just a reminder, that if your child is showing symptoms of illness, please contact your physician and refrain from sending them to school until they are asymptomatic. · Please continue to utilize effective hygiene strategies such as hand washing and utilization of hand sanitizer. Thank you for your cooperation, Scott Cochran Superintendent Webster County Schools
