COVID Case Update 11.19.2020

November 19, 2020

Dear Noble Community:

Please be aware that each and every time we receive notification of a positive case within the school district we remain steadfast in our commitment to notify all community members in a timely manner. We will continue that practice moving ahead. With that in mind, we would like to inform you that due to the close proximity of three cases at Knowlton School, the CDC has opened an “outbreak investigation.”

The CDC has developed Standard Operating Procedure criteria for case/outbreak investigations and we are working with the state team as they move through their process. The state team has been impressed with our procedures and protocols with each case to date and complimented us on our efficiency and transparency. Of note, during Dr. Shah’s daily update he will mention the investigation naming Knowlton School specifically either this afternoon or Friday. Again, this is a routine part of the investigation process yet we wanted to bring this to your attention. School district’s across York County are grappling with the same challenges we face each and every day. We will continue to remain vigilant throughout this process.

Sincerely,

Audra Beauvais

Superintendent of Schools
