COVID-19 cases in our District for November 23, 2020
November 23, 2020Dear Parents and Guardians,
We were notified that we have multiple positive cases of COVID-19 in our District. The new cases involve one student at C.W. Baker High School, two students at Durgee Junior High School, and one student at Palmer Elementary School. In each of these cases, the Onondaga County Health Department determined that there are no required quarantines due to in-school exposure.
- One remote learner at Baker High School
- One student at Durgee Junior High School last in attendance November 13th
- One remote learner at Durgee Junior High School
- One student at Palmer Elementary School last in attendance November 13th
As you know, we cannot provide any additional information about these cases due to confidentiality and privacy constraints. At this time, the District has determined that there is no need to cancel in-person instruction at the impacted schools. The District’s custodial staff will continue its regular deep cleaning and sanitizing practices in our buildings and on our school buses.
Out of an abundance of caution, we ask that families please keep an eye out for signs and symptoms as it takes 7 to 8 days after exposure. The District is taking precautions to protect the health and safety of its students and employees. We will continue to closely monitor this situation and communicate updates, if necessary.
As always, we appreciate your support and understanding on this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us.
Sincerely,
Joseph M. DeBarbieri, Acting Superintendent of Schools
