Port Huron School Superintendent Theo Kerhoulas sent a letter to district families and staff explaining the quarantining requirements for those who have contracted COVID-19 and those who have possibly been exposed. Kerhoulas made it clear that the district’s goal is to keep kids in school in person while following all health mandates.
All students and staff are encouraged to wear masks, whether vaccinated or not, but it is not required, except for on buses.
Superintendent Kerhoulas sent a graph that lays out the various scenarios based on level of exposure and vaccination status. The vaccine is not currently available to kids under age 12.
Close contact exposure is going to require frequent testing and mask wearing. Students and staff showing any symptoms of infection will need to stay home and call the doctor.
Kerhoulas said, “Our teachers are ready to support your child while they are unable to attend classes due to illness or quarantine. Our goal is to keep students in school and these orders give us many more options that were not available last year.”
