The Center for Disease Control has issued a very critical update regarding the use of face coverings for protection from the spread of COVID-19. The change directly impacts the school system’s face covering protocol as announced several weeks ago.

Specifically, the use of “neck gaiters” is not recommended and will no longer be part of acceptable face coverings for schools. The CDC also recommends that face coverings with vents be excluded from use as the protection level is very low.

The school system will continue to update parents and staff regarding any further releases from the CDC or Office of Public Health as the information becomes available.

From Dr. Bagwell:

The approach of a historic set of two tropical storms threatening the Louisiana coast has led to a decision to close all School Board offices and schools on Monday, August 24, through Thursday, August 27.

All teacher trainings and meetings will be rescheduled; information regarding these events will be provided in the coming days.

The safety of our students and employees remains our main priority. We ask that everyone stay connected to weather updates and take all precautions as advised.
