Sept. 27, 2021: Update to Pandemic Mitigation Measures
The outlined guidance to supplement and reinforce pandemic mitigation measures adopted by the Putnam County Board of Education can be reviewed in full on the Putnam County Schools website or following the links below.
The policy enacted by the Board on September 20, 2021, and further expanded at its Special Meeting on September 24, 2021, which takes effect at the end of the school day on Tuesday, September 28, 2021, is intended to optimize the education of Putnam County Schools’ students while following all written mandates of the Putnam County Health Board and Chief Medical Officer.
The Putnam County Health Department is the contact tracing and quarantining authority in accordance with state code. Therefore, all quarantine notifications will come directly from the Putnam County Health Department, rather than Putnam County Schools.
