Cherokee County School District drew attention last week when students without masks posed for a group photo.
Just one week after schools reopened in a northern Georgia school district, more than 800 of its students and staff have been told to quarantine.
The 42,000-student district lists about 40 cases in 19 elementary, middle and high schools, but it is unclear if all of those represent positive coronavirus tests or if some are of people who were just exposed to infected students or staff. A spokeswoman said in a statement Tuesday that the district anticipated ahead of schools reopening that"positive tests among students and staff could occur."
"The senior group photos taken outside before school on several of our campuses raised concerns that those students might not be aware of the importance of masks," Hightower wrote."Upon investigation, we learned many wear masks routinely, but we must continue to remind all students of the importance of masks when you cannot social distance."
