Letter from Jefferson Parish Schools Superintendent Cade Brumley addressing the first case of coronavirus in Louisiana

Description (Dublin Core)

On March 8, 2020, the state of Louisiana reported its' first confirmed case of coronavirus in New Orleans. The next day, Cade Brumley, the superintendent of the Jefferson Parish Public School System, sent out an e-mail to all teachers, staff, and parents in the school system. In it, Dr. Brumley assured everyone that there had not been any confirmed cases in Jefferson Parish so far. He also reiterated the many steps the school system was taking to make the schools safe, like accelerating sanitation efforts around the school, screening students to see if anyone had been outside the country recently, and having employees take an online class on common illness prevention. Dr. Brumley also assured parents and teachers that he had every intention of keeping public schools in Jefferson Parish open for as long as possible. By the end of that week, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards would close all public schools in Louisiana until mid-April.
