Pasco County: Middle, high school parents no longer will get calls about COVID exposures
Published at : September 16, 2021
Pasco County Schools emailed parents on Thursday, Sept. 9, to notify them of a change in how student exposure to COVID-19 will be communicated.
Now, middle and high school parents will no longer be notified on a case-by-case basis. Instead, they can go to the county's website and see how many total cases their child's school has. The data is not specific to grade level or classroom.
Previous to this change, the school conducted robocalls, informing each parent or guardian if their student was considered a potential exposure. The schools said for middle and high schoolers, this could result in as many as 150 calls per positive case.
