MONTROSE HIGH SCHOOL SCHEDULING COHORT QUARANTINE
This afternoon, the Montrose County School District (MCSD) COVID-19 Response Team determined that an individual in a Montrose High School (MHS) scheduling cohort tested positive for COVID-19. At this time, MCSD has notified anyone affected and Montrose County Public Health (MCPH) will provide testing to all students and staff connected to that cohort. Out of an abundance of caution, sixty-one students and four staff members meet the definition of close contact, and therefore need to quarantine and transition to remote learning through September 25th. All affected staff, students, and parents have been notified at this time.
As a result of adherence to our mitigation strategies, as well as the high school’s hybrid model, at this time only a small number of students and staff will learn remotely for a limited period.
The School District thanks Montrose High staff, students, and families, and every member of the MCSD community for social distancing whenever possible, wearing PPE, washing your hands, and staying home when you are sick.
