COVID-19 Information and Resources
We take our responsibility to help prevent infectious illnesses very seriously. These are our roles as a public school district:
- Provide education services for all students in an equitable manner.
- Reference regularly updated guidance from the Georgia Department of Education and the Georgia Department of Public Health.
- Implement a Return-to-School Plan for Infectious Illness Mitigation.
- Provide a self-check health guide for families and employees to mitigate the spread of infectious illnesses and assist them in taking personal responsibility for monitoring their health and taking the proper precautions.
- Implement Georgia Department of Public Health requirements to the best of our reasonable ability, while we also balance the overall safety and academic and social-emotional wellbeing of our students.
- Provide a plan that provides parents a choice of traditional and virtual learning options for their child.
- Establish safety protocols that help mitigate the spread of infectious illnesses for those in the school district's traditional learning setting.
- Implement guidance set forth by the Georgia High School Athletic Association for athletic activities.
- Coordinate and communicate with the Southeast Health District Department of Public Health and seek their guidance on whether to close a school, parts of a school, or all schools.
- Communicate important information with school district employees and our students' families.
- Train school district medical staff at each school to recognize and report signs of infectious illnesses.
- Report all confirmed-positive cases of COVID to the Department of Public Health immediately.
- Provide a weekly report to the Department of Public Health of all confirmed-positive cases of COVID, isolations, close contacts, and clusters among employees and students regardless of where the case or close contact occurred. Not all happen at school.
- Keep the public informed of COVID-19 cases, close contacts, and clusters that involve employees and students.
- Keep the public informed of its plan and use of Federal Elementary and Secondary Emergency Relief Funds.
The federal government provided Elementary and Secondary Emergency Relief Funds to school districts. Read more about how Bulloch County Schools is allocating its federal relief funds.
Also, the Georgia Department of Education and the Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education have developed this online dashboard that provides a simple, transparent way for the public to see Georgia school districts’ use of federal COVID-19 relief funds. The dashboard shows the amount of Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds a school district has received, the amount of submitted budgets approved, and time remaining in the grant period.
