Following are the Christian Academy School System guidelines being used to stay in school safely during the 2022-2023 school year. We have consulted a variety of resources to guide these decisions, including the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), Indiana Department of Health (IDOH), Kentucky Department of Public Health (DPH), Floyd County Health Department and Louisville Metro Health Department. Additionally, we examined our internal data and policy/procedures from the 2021-2022 school year. We will continue to monitor infection rates in our schools and in the community and will adjust guidelines as needed.
