Parents, Staff, and Students:  The Collins Career Technical Center has been notified that three high school staff members have tested positive for COVID-19.  CCTC students and staff have been diligent about wearing proper facial coverings, hand washing, and social distancing. Our facility has been properly sanitized. We are working with the Lawrence County Health Department to make sure all protocol is being followed and those who have had possible contact are being notified.  Out of an abundance of caution, we advise you to monitor your students' health, follow the CDC guidelines for people who have had close contact, and contact your primary care physician if you develop symptoms.  LCJVSD is continuing to monitor the situation and will provide additional information as needed. We hope for a full and successful recovery for the staff member and the student.  Sincerely, Stephen K. Dodgion Superintendent  File:  https://cctc.link/tpa

One frequent question we receive concerns the notification of individuals who may have been in contact with a student or staff member who has tested positive for COVID-19. To protect the privacy of individuals who have tested positive, we are not permitted to release any information that could publicly identify them. Our COVID return plan follows the specific guidelines created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to operate a school during this time. The CDC defines a contact as: Someone who was within 6 feet of an infected person for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period starting from 2 days before illness onset (or, for asymptomatic patients, 2 days prior to test specimen collection) until the time the patient is isolated. With the Lawrence County Health Department's cooperation, we immediately begin a case investigation and contact tracing once we are made aware that an individual who was in our building has tested positive.

The safety of our students and staff is always a priority at Collins Career Technical Center. Unfortunately, Lawrence County has recently seen a rise in COVID-19 cases that have affected several county school districts.

We understand that there are many barriers (slow internet, family obligations, academic struggles) that make it challenging to succeed in a virtual learning environment. We feel that frustration, as well. Our teachers continue to adapt to this new teaching style and making the best they can out of this unfortunate situation.
