Change in CCTC's COVID Protocol

September 3, 2021

Attention students, staff, and community members: Beginning on Tuesday, September 7, 2021, Collins Career Technical Center will utilize the CDC "Levels of Community Transmission" to determine when facial coverings are REQUIRED and when STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.

Currently, Lawrence County is designated as HIGH (Red) levels of community transmission. During this time all students, staff and visitors will be required to wear a mask indoors.

When the level of community transmission drops to the SUBSTANTIAL (Orange), MODERATE (Yellow) or LOW (Blue) designations, facial coverings will be STRONGLY RECOMMENDED while indoors for all students, staff and visitors. The CDC Levels of Community Transmission can be monitored at https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view

COVID-19/Delta variant cases have multiplied in Lawrence County recently. Unlike last year, students are getting sick. Please consider getting vaccinated or wearing a mask to help mitigate the spread. Last year, masks and other mitigation measures proved to work, and we were rewarded with a successful school year. The time has come to embrace those measures proven to be successful in reducing the spread. Additional protocol information is available on our website at collins-cc.edu/covid19

Thank you for your patience and understanding at this time.

Sincerely,
Adam M. Pittis, Superintendent
Collins Career Technical Center
