Carver Elementary staff notified of exposure to person with COVID

For the second time in 24 hours, staff members at a Wayne County elementary school have been notified of exposure to a person who has tested positive for COVID-19.

In an email obtained by the New Old North, Carver Elementary School Principal Antoinette Ward notified staff Friday evening that “an individual who has recently been on our campus tested positive for COVID-19.”

Ward went on to say, in a communication that is nearly identical to the one sent to Meadow Lane Elementary School staff Thursday, that all people who “were in close contact with this individual have been notified and addressed directly.”

It is unclear whether WCPS has notified anyone other than school staff.

Students and parents are due to return to campuses throughout the school district in the coming days for orientation, as WCPS begins its school year for the first three weeks in Plan C, before bringing students back under the state’s hybrid Plan B reopening model in early September.
