We wanted to share some information regarding changes to our COVID-19 protocols. Based on updated guidance from the Kentucky Department of Education and information from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we are no longer required to perform temperature screenings on students prior to entering schools or loading buses. Only students who are exhibiting symptoms of illness will have their temperature taken as part of a physical assessment.
