Fulton County Schools held a press conference Monday afternoon to discuss the closing of all schools on Tuesday after an employee was diagnosed with coronavirus.
Dr. Mike Looney, Superintendent of Fulton County Schools, said the person was an itinerant teacher at Bear Creek Middle School and Woodland Middle School. The teacher fell ill during their shift at Bear Creek Middle School last Friday and 911 was called. The employee is currently hospitalized. According to Looney, the teacher had “a lot of contact with students they serve and with additional staff members.”
It’s criminal that it took three days to close the schools, and the administration allowed the students and staff to be exposed an additional day. This is the speed of government.
