BROADDUS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT  P.O. Box 58 • 215 Buchanan. Broaddus, Texas 75929. Phone: 936.872.3041 Fax: 936.872.3699  NOTIFICATION OF CONFIRMED COVID-19 CASE ON CAMPUS  January 29, 2020  Dear Parent/Guardian and Staff  In keeping with Broaddus ISD's practices to respond to COVID-19, we are notifying all student families and staff members that one of Broaddus ISD students were lab-confirmed to have COVID-19. The student was last on the Elementary campus January 28, 2021 and tested positive January 29, 2021. Due to privacy requirements, we will not be releasing the name of the individual or details that may identify him or her.  After careful review, we have determined that the COVID-positive student was in close contact with other students/staff and those students/staff have been sent home. Operations at Broaddus $D will continue as usual, and we will keep you apprised of further updates.  While we do not have reason to believe that those who were not in close contact with the infected individual have reason to be concerned, we ask that you, as always, to watch for symptoms of COVID  19.  Any of the following symptoms indicate a possible COVID-19 infection;  o Temperature of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher when taken by mouth; o sore throat; o New uncontrolled cough that causes difficulty breathing (or, for students with a chronic  allergic/asthmatic cough, a change in their cough from baseline); o Diarrhea, vomiting, or abdominal pain; or o New onset of severe headache, especially with a fever  If you or any member of the Broadduş işD community does begin experiencing any of these symptoms in a way that is not typical, we encourage you to contact your physician. We encourage anyone in the Broaddus ISD community who is lab-confirmed to have COVID-19 to please notify our school by contacting 936-872-3041.  Sincerely,  Lucas Holloway  BISD Superintendent  “A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE"
