Yesterday, Bulloch BOE reversed course and temporarily rescinded their decision to stop following CDC and DPH recommendations regarding how they quarantine students who had been exposed to a COVID positive.

Today BOE reported 6 positive cases and quarantine of 42 throughout the school system. This brings them to a total of 105 positive cases and 984 total quarantined since they returned to school on August 17.

This comes at a time where many parents are trying to decide which instructional model they would like their students to participate in, either virtual or in person. Parents have until October 28 to decide for the second semester of the school year.

The board of education will meet in a work session on October 22 to discuss the quarantine issue.
