Christiana Middle School has two employees who tested positive for COVID-19, spokesman James Evans reported in a message to parents.
"We have two others who are exhibiting symptoms, and 10 others who must complete a precautionary quarantine because they had close contact with those individuals," Evans said. "Those on quarantine include some members of the school’s administration and leadership team."
Because of these circumstances, the district needs to transition Christiana Middle School to all distance-learning starting the first day of school, which is Thursday, Aug. 13, through Friday, Aug. 21. In-person students will be able to begin their classes at school starting Monday, Aug. 24, Evans said.
"Now we know that this is going to cause an inconvenience for some parents and that many of you likely have questions about logistics, laptop check-outs, and other issues," Evans said. "
The school’s principal, Dr. Kyle Nix, will be reaching out to all parents today to give you more specific information about the first week and a half of school, Evans said.
Again, we know this will be a hardship for some parents but we want to ensure we are maintaining a safe learning environment for our students and employees," Evans said. "This temporary distance-learning scenario is part of our containment and mitigation plan for COVID-19."
Prior to the decision to start with all Christiana Middle students in distance learning, Rutherford County Schools had 20,047 students signed up for distance learning by Friday's deadline, officials confirmed.
