The Buckingham County Public Schools has been informed that there is a measles outbreak in our community. At this time, there are no confirmed cases in our public schools, and our schools will remain open.
We are monitoring this situation very closely and have been working on a daily basis with Piedmont Health District Director Dr. Maria Almond. She has provided direct guidance to the division, and we have followed that guidance carefully. We are fully in compliance with the recommendations provided by the Health District.
Out of an abundance of caution, we began reviewing student immunization records last week. We have also been in contact with parents and guardians of students who, based on our records, may not be fully immunized and may be of higher risk of acquiring the infection. This outreach is intended to help families understand any steps they may need to take and to support the continued health and safety of our schools.
We will continue to follow guidance from public health officials, monitor developments closely, and share additional updates if there is new information that impacts our schools.
