Madison COVID Protocols

August 2022

 

To promote success for all students through clear communications these general principles will guide Madison Local Schools as we move forward for the 2022-2023 school year.

  1. Madison will implement recommended safety protocols 

  2. Madison will work closely with the Butler County Health Department to promote safety in each school building;

  3. Madison will be transparent with all stakeholders that some level of risk will always be present when children and school district employees occupy school district facilities.

  4. Madison is planning to maintain our approved school calendar.   

 

Daily Self-Monitoring

  • Students should monitor their own temperatures and their health on a daily basis before coming to school.

Returning to School After Illness

  • If a student is diagnosed as having COVID-19, they must meet the following criteria to return to school:

    • Isolate for 5 days

      •    May return on day 6 as long as symptoms have improved AND are fever free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication

Communications when a student/staff member has been diagnosed with a COVID 19 positive case

  • Please report all illnesses to the school for attendance purposes. A positive test result may be needed to excuse absences related to a positive covid test.

  • If your student is exposed to COVID-19 watch for symptoms for 10 days and test if symptoms develop. Exposures do NOT need to be reported to the school.
