Republic School District Families and Employees,

The following positive COVID19 cases have been reported to the district.

  • Two McCulloch students: Neither student was on campus when contagious.
  • One Transportation employee: The employee was never on campus when contagious.
  • Three RHS students: None of the students were on campus when contagious.
  • Two RMS students: Neither student was on campus when contagious.
  • One Lyon student: The student was never on campus when contagious.

At the direction of the Springfield-Greene County Health Department all individuals considered low-risk exposures to the individuals who tested positive will be contacted by school via email as they are eligible for a modified quarantine (Can attend school, ride the bus and attend STRIPES, but must quarantine outside of school.). Any high-risk, unmasked exposures who were exposed that need to traditionally quarantine will be called individually by a district employee or by Maximus (3rd party on behalf of Greene-County Health Department).

As a reminder, exposure notifications will be distributed each evening (and at the completion of the weekend) that there is a positive case in our district. Based on survey results in November, daily notifications will continue as opposed to weekly.
Information in regards to the district's response to COVID19 (including a weekly case tracker) can be found at https://www.republicschools.org/healthupdates. Also, the graphic below outlines quarantine protocols. Thank you for your support and flexibility as we navigate this time.
