A “School Associated Case” means a probable or confirmed case of COVID-19 amongst students, teachers, staff members, coaches, volunteers, or any other person who was present on school property, or at a school function under circumstances that could potentially result in the transmission or contraction of COVID-19 during an infectious period.
Any individuals identified as close contacts have been contacted directly by the district or the County Health Department and will need to quarantine at home for a 10- to 14-day period from the time of exposure. The health department has a robust process in place to determine which students and staff require contact and removal from the workplace or school. If you do not receive communication from the health department or school district, you are not impacted. No further action is required and you do not need to contact the school.
Families with questions should reach out to their student’s school office and BCPS staff members with questions can reach out to the Human Resources office.
