Dear Families:
The District was notified that a student at the High School has tested positive for COVID-19. This positive case WILL NOT be counted towards the rolling 14-day count, as the student has not been in school since 1/29/21 due to being quarantined. As a result, we will continue to stay open under the current model. See below for the current case numbers at each building as of this morning, February 16, 2021.
- Senior High - 0 active cases
- Junior High - 0 active case
- Eisenhower - 0 active cases
- Horace Mann - 0 active cases
- Ben Franklin - 0 active cases
- East Pike - 0 active cases
As a reminder, the 14-day clock starts at the onset of symptoms, not when the District is informed of the test results. In alignment with our Health and Safety Plan, as well as the attestation that the District signed, we are able to remain open.
As always, the number of confirmed cases can change at any time. As per the District’s attestation, we would close once we get between 2-4 cases. We understand the terrible inconvenience a closure causes our families; however, we have a responsibility to make you aware of the possibility. My goal is not to cause panic, rather it is to help make you aware of the current situation in case the District needs to make a change rather quickly.
Respectfully,
Mr. Michael J. Vuckovich
IASD Superintendent
