Allegheny County COVID-19 Community Level MEDIUM
Dear ECS Families,
We are aware that Allegheny County’s COVID Community Level has changed from LOW to MEDIUM. At this time, ECS is not altering its health and safety plan but is closely monitoring the community level as well as our district’s cases.
ECS recognizes that this news may increase anxieties, however, the district is following layered mitigation efforts to continue safe operations including:
Reporting positive COVID-19 cases to the Allegheny County Health Department and taking its recommendation based on the community level.
Communicating to classroom families when there are 4 or more cases within their student’s class.
Deep cleaning spaces daily with extra attention to classrooms with 4 or more cases.
Running HEPA filters in every room.
Maintaining a mask-welcome environment across all campuses.
As a reminder, all schools have a bountiful supply of masks available to any individual who would like one. Please review ECS’s current Quarantine and Isolation Procedures, continue to check the COVID-19 Dashboard and Information Center, and reach out if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Dr. James Doyle
Chief Operating Officer
