Colleton County School District continues to put tools in place in our schools to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Six-thousand plexiglass desk partitions will be placed in blended learning classrooms across the district over the next few weeks. Schools are cleaned daily and comprehensively disinfected every Wednesday, mask wearing is mandated for anyone on district properties, and social distancing is enforced at all times.
Anyone with questions about CCSD’s strategies for preventing the spread of COVID-19 in schools can call (843) 782-4510.
