Students can easily transition to eLearning 2.0 on those days and not miss instruction. This is primarily why Jackson Local Schools designed its learning models to transition between in-person and eLearning 2.0. Students who come to school showing signs of illness will be sent home. If individuals present with two or more symptoms consistent with COVID-19, he/she will be presumed to have COVID-19 until such time as a health care provider determines the illness is caused by something else and provides a note. Without a health care provider note, the individual would need to stay home for 10 days and be fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication or receive a confirmed negative COVID-19 test. This decision tree is used by the district to help determine when students are sent home and when they can return.

We all have a role in mitigating the spread of COVID-19, and illness in general. The Jackson Local School District thanks parent, guardians, caregivers for helping us fight the spread of illness in our district.
