In regards to face coverings, McGehee School District will continue to wear face coverings as outlined in our Board approved Ready for Learning Plan for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year. Pending guidance from the Arkansas Department of Health, we will be making the adjustments with the CDC guidelines for quarantining as it relates to our mask policy. If both parties are wearing masks appropriately, close contacts will not be required to quarantine. If at least one party is not wearing a mask appropriately, traditional quarantine guidelines will apply. By continuing our mask policy, we hope to eliminate student and staff quarantines due to COVID-19 exposure.
