Wlaf1450JACKSBORO, TN (WLAF) – Campbell County Director of Schools Jennifer Fields announced Saturday morning the closing of CC Schools beginning Monday.
Late Friday evening in a public announcement by Mayor Morton, I was made aware that the Campbell County Health Department confirmed a person has been diagnosed with COVID-19 in Campbell County. Although our area is still considered to be an area of minimal risk by Tennessee Department of Health guidelines, the school system is taking every precaution necessary to prevent the spread of this virusand keep students healthy.
Schools will be closed March 16-20, 2020 for disinfecting andto allow students and staff limited contact with others, but the school system cannot act alone. We are only one of many public facilities where germs can be transmitted, and it is crucial that you work with us by limiting exposure to populated areas.
I remain positive and hopeful that we will get through this quickly and return healthy after a two-week closure.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Fields
