This memorandum serves as an amendment to the current Church After School Association, Inc. employee handbook and the agency’s current policy, and is effective immediately. As an organization, Church After School Association, Inc. is committed to keeping our students, families, and team members safe and healthy. As more has become known about COVID-19, the CDC has continuously updated their guidelines. These guidelines are then quickly updated by our local public school system. To avoid confusion in having multiple COVID-19 policies, which may not reflect the most current knowledge attained by the CDC, Church After School Association, Inc.’s policy will reflect that of the Tupelo Public School District. We value their leadership, knowledge, and partnership, and will be reviewing their policy and practices as they are updated. There are some practices we will continue to maintain, such as our sanitized cleaning practices. CASA will also acknowledge and follow any directions that we may be asked to follow by our Church partners. This amendment to policy nullifies any previous policy concerning our COVID-19 practices, and goes into effect immediately. The most recent Tupelo Public School District policy can be downloaded below or by through the school website.
