A Message from the Superintendent (6/15/2020)
Two District Employees Test Positive for COVID-19
Parents and Staff,
Henderson ISD has been notified that two employees have recently tested positive for COVID-19. One is a High School employee and one is a transportation employee.
Although schools have been closed since March 6th, the HHS employee assisted with graduation ceremony preparations and attended graduation at Lion Stadium on June 5th. The employee had contact with other district employees during the day. The teacher first developed symptoms five days later and was tested the following day. The employee was notified of the positive test result on Sunday, June 14th.
The transportation employee has not had contact with district employees since June 3rd. The employee first had symptoms on June 6th and remained at home. The employee was tested on June 13th and received a positive report the next day.
Based on the information that we have gathered, it is unlikely that either employee posed an exposure risk to HISD staff, students or families since contact in both cases was more than two days in advance of any symptoms. Out of an abundance of caution, we advise all district employees, students and families to continue to monitor their own health, follow the CDC guidelines and contact a physician if symptoms appear.
Henderson ISD will continue to encourage employee and student health screenings, facility sanitation efforts and social distancing during summer activities. Most importantly, our thoughts and concerns remain with both our employees and we wish them a speedy recovery.
Sincerely,
Dr. Thurston Lamb, Jr.
Superintendent
