Clinton Public School District COVID-19 Update—October 6, 2020

The Clinton Public School District is reporting two Eastside Elementary students, both from the same household, have tested positive for COVID-19.

School administrators have contacted parents of students in the classes who have been affected.

These cases are CPSD’s sixteenth and seventeenth positive cases since the start of school on August 13.

CPSD will report all positive cases to the Mississippi State Department of Health and the Mississippi Department of Education on a weekly basis as required. Neither MSDH nor MDE require schools to report this information to the general public.

The district is committed to remaining transparent as we venture through the school year during the pandemic.

The Clinton Public School District continues to follow health and safety guidelines provided by the Centers of Disease Control and MSDH.
