SCHOOL BOARD POLICIES:

Midland School Board Legislative Policy on Covid

1) An infected person is out of school for 10 days from the onset of symptoms.

2) A student who has been in close contact with an exposed person may have a Covid test on or after day 5 of last exposure.
If a negative result is received, the student may return to school and all activities on day 8 if the student is still symptom-free.
Students are expected to continue the mask and social distancing policy until the 14 day quarantine has been met.
If students are unwilling to follow the mask and social distancing policy they will be asked to finish the 14 day quarantine at home.

3) If a student who has been in close contact with an exposed person chooses not to test, the student may return to school and all activities on day 11 of last exposure if the student is symptom free.
Students are expected to continue the mask and social distancing policy until the day 14 quarantine has been met. If students are unwilling to follow the mask and social distancing policy they will
be asked to finish the 14 day quarantine at home.

If students return to school prior to the 14 days, the CDC and IDPH require that students must stay masked up, must be able to social distance, must continue sanitation practices, and must monitor their health daily.
Due to these restrictions, students would not be able to eat with other students, attend certain classes where social distancing is not possible, and could not participate in extra-curricular activities.

On Monday, April 26, 2021, the Midland School Board voted to modify their policy to that listed above. Midland has been very fortunate to have low exposure rates throughout the year, and we hope to continue this trend by following these “best practices.”

At this time, The Midland Community School District will continue the mask requirement for everyone on school grounds, buses and at events.
We will continue to social distance, wash hands and implement extra cleaning measures for the health and safety of all. Thank you for helping us keep students in school.
