This morning, the Grant County School District received notification that one of our employees tested positive for COVID-19.  We are sharing this information with our stakeholders in order to be transparent and to provide needed information and guidance. 

As a precautionary measure, and at the direction of the Northern Kentucky District Health Department, all co-workers who came in contact with this employee have begun a 14-day period of self-isolation.

To the best of our knowledge, the affected employee was not having symptoms while on the job, however had assisted with our food distribution through Friday of last week in the areas which included the Hwy 491/Gardnersville area -- with stops at Lloyd’s Wildlife, 1855 Heathen Ridge Road, Sherman Newtown & Gardnersville Road, and North Fork.  Our district has worked to identify and personally contact via phone or email individuals believed to have received food along this route, but acknowledge we may not have been aware of the identity of every family.  Families on this route who received food last week are encouraged to review the guidance provided by the health department which is available as an attachment below.

As you are aware, our meal distribution had transitioned earlier this week to a once-weekly distribution (on Mondays) providing meals for a full week.  Food distribution will continue, except, now, will transition again, this time to a pick-up system.  Details will follow.

Please continue to follow all the precautionary measures that have been publicized throughout the last several weeks.  These precautions are necessary to protect yourself and others.  If you have questions regarding your / your child’s health and/or COVID-19, please reference the attachment for the contact numbers provided there or visit kycovid19.ky.gov.  Additionally, our district is happy to help with any questions if we can.

Thank you for your thoughtful consideration and cooperation moving forward. 

Best Regards,

Matt Morgan
