Arkoma Public Schools stands firm in our number one priority: the safety of our students and staff. We are in communication with the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and we are monitoring the Centers for Disease Control recommendations in regards to school closures due to the CoronaVirus/COVID-19. At this time, neither agency recommends closing school in our current circumstances. This could change at any time and definitely if circumstances change.
In the meantime, we are developing new standards for cleaning and student management to ensure that we continue to provide a safe place for everyone. We have a teleconference with the State Department tomorrow at 2pm and will keep our community informed as new details and directives are given.
