Holt Public Schools will share updates received from the Ingham County Health Department (ICHD) and Barry-Eaton District Health Department (B-EDHD) on this COVID-19 Dashboard, as required by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, effective October 12, 2020.

Holt Public Schools will work with the Ingham County Health Department (ICHD) and Barry-Eaton Health Department (B-EDHD) to receive and share data regarding school associated cases. The ICHD & B-EDHD determines what is a probable or confirmed case. According to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), a “school associated case” means a case of probable or confirmed COVID-19 amongst students, teachers, staff members, coaches, volunteers or any other person who was present on school property or at a school function under circumstances that may result in the transmission or contraction of COVID-19 during their infectious period. As directed by the MDHHS, the ICHD and B-EDHD must share probable or confirmed cases with schools within 24 hours. Schools will then post the information received in a public place within 24 hours of notification from the health department.

We will continue to work with Ingham County Health Department and Barry-Eaton District Health Department to ensure the safety of our learning community.
