At its Feb. 9 meeting, the Dawson County Schools chief told the school board he’s been encouraged by a downward trend in COVID-19 cases in schools, noting a return to case numbers not seen since before the Christmas break.
The board also approved a contract with a copy services vendor that district staff say will free up more money for school leaders to spend on students.
In his superintendent’s report, Dawson County Schools Superintendent Damon Gibbs updated board members on the most recent trends in positive COVID-19 case numbers within the district, which he said have been trending downward since the beginning of the spring semester.
“If you look at the data across the state, the data is trending in the right direction, and we’re back to the levels before the break, early in December,” Gibbs said. “So we’re cautiously optimistic about the data and trending we’re seeing, so we’re going to continue to take measures in our schools to protect our children and our staff.” read the rest here
