Confirmed Cases

Case and Exposure Notification

January 28, 2022

We are writing to provide notification of three unrelated COVID-19 cases that led to eight exposures on campus this week.

In the first case, an employee who was last on campus Jan. 24 developed COVID-19 symptoms and received a positive test result on Jan. 25. The district was notified on Jan. 27. Contact tracing showed one other person was exposed. The employee will isolate for the required period, and the exposed individual will monitor for symptoms or isolate as appropriate.

In the second case, a student who was last on campus Jan. 25 received a positive test result on Jan. 26. The student, who did not experience any COVID-19 symptoms, notified the district of a positive result on Jan. 27. Contact tracing showed three people were exposed. The student will isolate for the required period, and those exposed will monitor for symptoms or isolate as appropriate.

In the third case, an employee who was last on campus Jan. 24 developed COVID-19 symptoms and received a positive test result on Jan. 27. The district was notified on Jan. 27. Contact tracing showed four people were exposed. The employee will isolate for the required period, and those exposed will monitor for symptoms or isolate as appropriate.

As mentioned in earlier cases, we understand the desire to know more about these situations. However, we must balance the concern that we all have for our co-workers and students with privacy laws. With that in mind, we are not able to provide more detail that could identify these individuals.

As a reminder, please continue to self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms each day before coming to campus. Do not enter campus if you are currently experiencing, or have in the past 14 days experienced:

  • Fever
  • Cough
  • Shortness of Breath or Difficulty Breathing
  • Fatigue
  • Chills
  • Congestion or runny nose
  • Sore throat
  • New loss of taste or smell
  • Gastrointestinal problems such as nausea, diarrhea or vomiting
  • Muscle or body aches
  • Headaches

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please contact our COVID-19 Compliance Team at covid@streetconsultinggroup.com or (661) 993-7670.
