COVID-19 Prevention Update

Colleton County School District COVID-19 Mitigation Update
Posted on 08/18/2021

The Colleton County School Board voted on August 17 to suspend Temporary Policy ADD and instructed staff to implement a face covering/mask requirement effective immediately for staff, students, and visitors in and at all school district facilities and on district transportation through October 19.

This decision was made in consideration of the spread of the extremely contagious COVID-19 delta variant and following recommendations released by state and federal public health authorities. We appreciate all of the efforts that our students, teachers, staff and community are making to make sure our schools can remain open and that our children continue to have the opportunity to safely learn in-person. By working together, we will be able to help protect Colleton County during this pandemic.

Protecting our staff and students while provide fully in-person instruction remains CCSD’s top priority. In order to keep our school facilities as safe as possible as the district returns to school, CCSD continue to utilize the following practices:

  • We will encourage district employees and students to receive COVID-19 vaccinations. We will work with regional healthcare providers to schedule vaccine clinics that can be hosted in our facilities.
  • Desk shields/barriers have been placed in all of our school classrooms.
  • Schools and buses will be cleaned daily, and comprehensively disinfected once per week.
  • Air purifiers will be placed in all CCSD classrooms.
  • Students and visitors will undergo temperature checks upon entering district properties.
  • Social distancing will be enforced on district properties when possible.
  • Students and staff members will be encouraged to regularly wash their hands and practice other sanitation techniques.
  • Water fountains will not be in operation on district properties, but the water bottle filler stations placed at schools will still be in use. We ask that all students and staff bring water bottles with them to school so they can use the bottle filler stations. Students will be eating in their school cafeterias where possible.

Thank you for reading, and we please know that we appreciate your support.
