2021-2022 COVID COMMUNICATION PROCESS
We wanted to share our updated positive COVID communication process for the 2021-2022 school year. Quarantine is required for an individual who has been a close contact (within 6 feet for at least 15 minutes cumulatively over a 24-hour period) of someone who is determined positive with COVID-19 either through testing or symptom consistent diagnosis.
Please note if an individual is considered a close contact, the close contact will receive notification from the school nurse. In the event that there are multiple close contacts, the principal will assist with sending out an alert phone call to all close contacts to help get the information out as quickly as possible. Based on the recommendations from the NCDHHS Strong Schools NC Public Health Toolkit, as long as a close contact was wearing their mask properly (covering their nose and close fit to their face) they will not have to quarantine. Also, if the close contact is vaccinated they will not have to quarantine.
The District Dashboard will be updated weekly and posted on Friday afternoons. This dashboard will not be cumulative and will share the number of positive students and staff as a total. Each Friday afternoon, a letter will be distributed to schools impacted by positive cases so the principal(s) can share this information with all staff and parents.

Standard Response Protocol - Critical Incident and Drill Management
Starting with the Fall 2021 semester, Craven County Schools will begin using the Standard Response Protocol (SRP). The SRP is a comprehensive, all-hazards approach to critical incident training, response, and management. This will bring continuity of actions district-wide and will allow for consistency throughout the educational career of each student and staff member.
The SRP was created by and is maintained by The I Love U Guys Foundation; since its inception in 2006, it has become the critical incident response protocol for over 30,000 schools, agencies, and organizations nationwide. The I Love U Guys Foundation is constantly reviewing protocols and aligning with best-accepted practices, using the input of emergency management professionals, parents, community members, mental health professionals, and law enforcement.
For any additional questions, please contact me by email at nicholas.lucas@cravenk12org.
The protocol is outlined below:

On August 18th, high school students from Havelock High School, New Bern High School, and West Craven High presented to the Superintendent and the Superintendentโs Leadership Cabinet a proposal for painted Senior Parking Spaces. This group did a phenomenal job of demonstrating several of our core values to include management by fact, valuing people, visionary leadership, student-centered excellence, organizational learning, and agility, and focus on success.
You made us very proud today and your presentation was professional and well planned. Our students are leaders and we look forward to seeing their proposal being completed.
