Traverse City Area Public Schools (TCAPS) was informed by the Grand Traverse County Health Department that a Courtade Elementary School staff member has tested positive for COVID-19, the district reported Sunday.

The Health Department is investigating the situation and is directly notifying any close contacts who will need to stay home and quarantine or take additional health measures. If a family or staff member is not contacted by the Health Department, it means that either the staff member or child was not identified as a close contact of the person who tested positive, according to a TCAPS release.

As an additional precaution, the Courtade Elementary School building was deep cleaned and disinfected Sunday evening. Any buses or other potentially affected areas also received additional cleaning and disinfection prior to student and staff use. The Health Department does not recommend any further action be taken by the school or school district to mitigate further spread of the virus related to this particular case at this time, according to TCAPS.
