COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS
Consistent with school notification requirements for other communicable diseases, and consistent with legal confidentiality requirements, HCISD will notify all teachers, staff, and families of all students in a school if a lab-confirmed OR possible COVID-19 case is identified among students, teachers, or staff who participate in any on-campus activities. HCISD is committed to transparency as we communicate during the COVID-19 pandemic, however, it does take time to ascertain facts and details of a reported case when we learn about it, and we ask for your patience as we work to first take care of the individuals who test positive and anyone in which they may have come into close contact.
