COVID-19 & UNA/Lauderdale Schools

UNA issued a statement on Cornonavirus preparedness several days ago; however, some have reported to us that interstate travel to affected areas has continued. If you feel you've been unduly exposed, please send us your take on what UNA could have done to better protect you.

The Lauderdale County School Board has sent out letters to each school detailing its role in reporting the Coronavirus or any other health concern:

The letter seems pretty standard. It's the signatures that caught our eye. There are ten schools in the system. Presumably each school has a dedicated LPN assigned to it. Now, look at the signatures again. There are two nurse-supervisors listed for the system. We will assume that one works in the western end of the county, while the other oversees the eastern.

We're curious as to the job description(s) of these nurses. Then again, if COVID-19 hits the schools, they'll have just a tad more to do. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
