Statement from CCSD Regarding Coronavirus

Statement from the Churchill County School District -- The Churchill County School District Board of Trustees and District Leadership share our community’s concerns about any possible outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in our country, state, or immediate area. We have no knowledge of any confirmed cases in our area at this time. We are collaborating with CCSD Student Health Services, State of Nevada, and federal health officials to determine the best course of action to protect our students and staff members and ensure the educational needs of our students are met. We are relying on health experts to provide us with guidance going forward, and, depending upon the direction we receive, we will adapt our approach as necessary. We can assure you that we are taking all necessary steps to gather information, following guidelines set forth by health officials, and that we will convey this information to our families and our community through the media, online, and through direct communication with our families. For further information, please visit www.churchillcsd.com. In the meantime, we encourage children and adults to wash their hands frequently with soap and warm water and cover their coughs and sneezes. We will also provide frequent updates to everyone involved to ensure our families receive timely and accurate information as the situation unfolds. We know that each of our schools has individual and unique needs, and those needs will be considered as we make plans for the education of our students in the event of an outbreak. The safety and security of our students and staff is our highest priority, and we are dedicated to doing everything possible to protect them. Please direct all questions to the District’s Chief Nurse, Stefanie Utz, at [email protected]. District staff will forward Chief Utz all questions and concerns.       Never miss the local news -- read more on The Fallon Post home page.
