On Wednesday, the Dubuque County Board of Health voted to support a proposal from the Dubuque County Public Health Incident Management Team to suspend contact tracing efforts for positive COVID-19 cases.
By Iowa Code, the Dubuque Community School District cannot engage in contact tracing and investigation without the involvement of a public health agency. Currently, the district contact traces as an extension of the Dubuque County Health Department / Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) and, as such, will also suspend contact tracing in schools.
The district’s protocols for those who test positive for COVID-19 or those with symptoms of illness have not changed.
In place of contact-tracing efforts, the Dubuque Incident Management Team will increase promotion of quarantine and isolation guidance as well as the Dubuque County COVID-19 “hotline” for questions and support.
The team’s recommendation follows recent decisions by other Iowa counties to suspend contact tracing, including Linn County and Johnson County, and is based on the increased level of community spread of COVID and the increased difficulty in reaching positive individuals.
Additional reasons cited by the incident management team include:
The district, and schools throughout Dubuque County, are also experiencing these issues and support the change.
Beginning today, Monday, June 22, all school playgrounds will reopen for community use.
Individuals who have a diagnosis of COVID-19, are experiencing symptoms of illness (i.e. fever of 100.4 or higher, cough or shortness of breath), or have been in contact with anyone diagnosed with COVID-19 in the past 14 days should not use district facilities.
Additionally, we recommend the following when using one of our playgrounds:
On this Juneteenth holiday, also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, and Liberation Day, we recognize the incredible significance current events will have in our nation’s history as we join in commemorating the end of slavery in the United States 155 years ago.
As a public school district, our mission is to equitably provide each and every student we serve with the resources and support they need to be successful.
We continue to stand in support of and solidarity with our Black students, families, teachers and staff.
Now, and always, we unequivocally stand against racism.
We stand for acceptance and racial equity.
We stand together in the fight to end injustice.
As a district, we have not and must not simply stand. We must take action.
Rooted in our strategic plan that seeks success for all students,
we are continually focused on the important work of breaking down barriers,
of enhancing support, and of being constant advocates for our Black students,
and all students in underrepresented groups.
We see them. We hear them. We firmly pledge to both continue this important work and, at the same time, to do better, faster.
As educators, we know that knowledge truly is power and that education plays a critical role in bringing about positive change.
As we all seek ways to take action, our Director of Equity Taj Suleyman has compiled a set of resources to assist students and families in navigating these times.
We must continue to stand, and act, together.
Sincerely,
Stan Rheingans
Superintendent of Schools
