COVID-19 Notification
MVCTC remains committed to communicating important information to you in a timely manner during the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic that is impacting all of us. This can prove challenging with guidance changing quickly and little advance notice to school districts.
With that said, MVCTC has received notice of one staff member who has recently been on campus and tested positive for COVID-19. To date, all of the positive COVID-19 cases were contracted off campus and it has been determined that none of the individuals had any type of close contact with students. MVCTC staff members who were considered close contacts to this individual have been required to self-quarantine. The impacted staff member’s
space was thoroughly cleaned and isolated once the district was informed about the positive test. At this point in time, there have been zero cases that are connected to any type of virus transmission while staff or students have been on campus. The district has been communicating with Public Health - Dayton and Montgomery County and continues to follow their protocols and guidance.
While we must protect the privacy of the person involved, we believe it is best to communicate transparently with you so you can make well-informed decisions for your family. At this time, the individual is in isolation and will remain so until they have been cleared by health officials. This case represents the fourth known confirmed case of COVID-19 connected to the Miami Valley Career Technology Center.
As more cases are being confirmed across the state, it is important to remain vigilant. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the following best practices to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
- Avoid close contact with those who are sick.
- Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your sleeve.
- Disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects.
- Practice social distancing, leaving at least six feet between you and other people.
- When you are unable to practice social distancing in a public setting, wear a cloth mask.
Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough and shortness of breath. If you or any member of your family exhibit these symptoms, you are encouraged to contact your medical provider for advice immediately. Symptoms usually appear 2-14 days after exposure.
IMPORTANT: In the future, the district will continue to update you as necessary through email and on the district’s website, www.mvctc.com , of any other positive COVID-19 cases that are brought to our attention that involve staff or students who have been on campus. To be respectful of your time, the district will only use a SchoolMessenger call if there is a significant increase in cases or a similar type of situation which requires immediate awareness. Please
ensure MVCTC has your most current contact information on file. If you need to update your contact information, please call (937) 854-6256.
In closing, please know that student and staff safety is our priority. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Dr. Nick Weldy
MVCTC Superintendent
