Oakwood Schools was notified Sept. 2, 2020 a member of the Oakwood High School staff has tested positive for COVID-19.

After conducting an investigation with the assistance of Public Health Dayton and Montgomery County, it was determined no other staff members or students came in “close contact” with the individual who tested positive.  The CDC defines “close contact” as being within six feet for fifteen or more minutes.  

Students who were in class and staff members who were determined to have “general exposure” with the individual have been notified of their general exposure to the individual.  It is recommended these students and staff members monitor their symptoms and be alert for symptoms of COVID-19.  

Once completing the required quarantine period, being fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication, and seeing an improvement in symptoms, the staff member will be cleared to return to school.
