5. Changes in Covid Guidelines: (Per District)
Sumter School District is suspending contact tracing and close contact quarantine practices as of Thursday, March 10, 2022. This change in procedure is in accordance with the recently updated COVID-19 Guidelines issued by SCDHEC on February 2, 2022. Data from the last two weeks indicates that no district schools or locations have had 10 percent or more of their students or staff absent due to COVID-19.
The attached SCDHEC guidelines will remain in effect unless the school or district location has 10 percent or more of students and staff absent due to COVID-19. If this 10 percent threshold is met or exceeded for two consecutive weeks, the contact tracing and quarantine requirements will have to be reinstated.
It is important to note that any student or staff member who tests positive for COVID-19 or displays symptoms is still required to stay home from school and should report positive test results to their school.
