Schools
Gibbs said that, while the numbers
continue to trend down, school adminis
trators aren’t letting up on the preventa
tive measures that staff and students are
taking to keep that number low.
“We’re on the other side of the worst
part of that and fortunate to be there, so
we’re continuing with all of our clean
ing and our services,” Gibbs said.
Gibbs added that, with flu season
approaching, he and other school
administrators will be keeping an eye
on the number of flu cases in the school
system too.
“I had a board of health meeting this
morning and we talked about the possi
bility of flu this year; as you know last
year we had very little flu,” Gibbs said.
“This year the emergency room physi
cian {on the board of health} said that
they have seen a steady influx of flu
cases of flu A this year, so it may be a
different kind of year than we had last
year.”
Gibbs said that the school system will
continue to take every precaution possi
ble to prevent both flu and covid cases as
low as possible in the district.
“We’re gonna continue to clean our
surfaces and encourage our kids to
wash their hands and be safe and hope
fully we will have a mild flu season,”
Gibbs said.
