FJHS/FHS moves to remote learning status 4 days into year

Fleming junior/senior high school students are on remote learning status, just four days into the new school year.

According to Fleming Superintendent Steve McCracken a student or staff member at the Fleming junior/senior high school has been diagnosed with COVID-19. As part of the public health investigation the person diagnosed is being kept home from the school until they are no longer infectious.

Additionally, those who were in close contact of that person are also being asked to stay home from school for 14 days.

“Because it is impossible to assess all interactions in a classroom and because of the length of time which classes spend together, all students in grades sixth through 12th are considered close contacts,” McCracken said in a statement Monday morning, Aug. 24. “Those people who are being asked to stay home can return to school and normal activities on Sept. 3.”

Fleming Schools started their 2020-21 school year on Tuesday, Aug. 18 with in-person learning for grades preschool through 12.
