A classroom at an elementary school in the Sedalia School District 200 has been ordered to quarantine.

As the result of a positive test for COVID-19, all students and the teacher in a first-grade classroom at Skyline Elementary School have been ordered to quarantine. Since others in the classroom are symptomatic and with an abundance of caution for all involved, the district in conjunction with the Pettis County Health Center, has chosen to issue a quarantine order through September 15, returning to class September 16.

All families affected have been notified and the case has been reported to the Pettis County Health Center, as required by current Missouri Law.

With the mandatory mask protocol, students and staff members who encountered these people through the day outside of the classroom are deemed to be at low risk for exposure.

Additionally, the district has reported a staff member who works in one-on-one and small group settings has tested positive. The families of these three students with whom the staff member met, as well as district staff they came into contact with have been notified. In all circumstances, all people involved were masked at all times and therefore are considered at low risk for exposure.
