Coronavirus Information & Resources
This is the time of year when we see an increase in children who are coughing, sneezing and exhibiting other symptoms, typical during cold and flu season. With news of the spread of the “coronavirus”, we too see a heightened sense of concern about our own preparedness should we see cases closer to home.
LaBrae Local Schools is working in close coordination with the Trumbull County Board of Health and our other public schools to ensure the health, safety, and wellbeing of all of our students and staff.
In coordination with our County Health Commissioner and Epidemiologist, we are providing the most up-to-date information on our website. We too may send home information with students and use our one-call system.
LaBrae Local Schools is committed to making all decisions in the best interest of the health, safety and wellbeing of students and of the community.
LaBrae Local Schools, along with our public schools, will remain proactive.
As a precaution, we are:
- Continuing to be in close contact with local health department and county emergency management agencies to remain up-to-date on local health emergency procedures in our community. This enables us to be proactive in our decision-making.
- Reviewing and modifying our emergency management plans as needed in light of any new information we receive.
- Reminding families to update their emergency contact information at their child’s school.
- Communicating/sharing through the LaBrae website and social and news media any steps we are taking to be as prepared as possible.
You can help yourself and your loved ones stay healthy by washing your hands often, especially during these key times when you are likely to get and spread germs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends:
- Before, during, and after preparing food
