With this latest announcement by Gov. Asa Hutchinson to close Arkansas public schools through April 17, the Paragould School District is working with authorities to plan for and deliver meals to students in need. Today PSD buses will deliver over 230 food bags to students who had previously received food bags throughout the school year. In addition to following the Standard Operation Procedures for Safe Food Handling, the following procedures were implemented to help prevent the spread COVID-19:
1. A Health Screen was provided for all assisting with preparing or delivering meals. This process included taking the temperature of all assisting with preparing or delivering meals and wearing a mask or face cover such as a bandana.
2. Frequent hand washing with soap and hot water for at least 20 seconds.
3. Sanitizing hands and surfaces.
4. Wearing Gloves
5. Disinfect surfaces and sinks before and after preparation or service of meal
The Paragould School District will work with authorities to determine the safest way to provide meals following spring break. We will send out information as soon as we have it ready and as soon as decisions are made.
All Arkansas schools will be closed through April 17 per Governor Hutchinson. We will be sending out more information as we receive it.
