Mississippi’s eight public universities have modified the schedules for the spring semester classes to inhibit the spread of the coronavirus.

“The health and safety of our students, faculty and staff are paramount,” said Dr. Alfred Rankins Jr., Commissioner of Higher Education. “Our universities are modifying the schedules for the spring semester out of an abundance of caution.”

All eight universities, including Alcorn State University, Delta State University, Jackson State University, Mississippi State University, Mississippi University for Women, Mississippi Valley State University, the University of Mississippi and the University of Southern Mississippi are observing Spring Break this week and will extend Spring Break an additional week, which will allow faculty members time to prepare to offer classes remotely.

Classes will resume the following week, on Monday, March 23, and will be taught online and via other alternative instructional methods. Students are encouraged to remain at home and will participate in their classes remotely. Students enrolled in professional and graduate programs will be notified of any exceptions to meet clinical and other requirements.

“The situation remains fluid and university plans are subject to change in response to new information and recommendations received,” said Rankins. “We continue to work with the Mississippi Coronavirus (COVID-19) Preparedness and Response Planning Steering Committee and the Mississippi State Department of Health as we develop our plans for the coming weeks and months. Our goal is to mitigate the risks posed by the coronavirus while maintaining the quality and integrity of our instructional programs.”

Faculty, staff, students and their families should monitor their university’s website, official social media accounts and their email daily for updated information.

As of this report, no decision has been announced for the state’s community colleges.

During a Thursday press conference, officials with the Mississippi Department of Health said they did “not have any intent of giving recommendations to close” elementary or high schools.

Billy Ellzey, Kosciusko School District Superintendent, has released a letter detailing the school’s policy and approach to the growing concerns over the Coronavirus.

 

Dear Parents and Guardians:

Over the past couple of days we have been in contact with government and health officials about the recent events around the coronavirus in our state and country. Experts have indicated that children make up the smallest group of infected people (less than 2%). State health officials informed us that closing schools at this time is not necessary. Our custodial staff is taking extra precautions with cleaning and virus prevention methods. The health officials did give the following advice for schools and the public to follow:

  • Practice good hygiene as advised by the CDC, especially hand washing
  • Do not attend large events, especially if over age 65
  • Do not attend school or work if you have a fever over 100.4
  • If you exhibit signs of the coronavirus, call your healthcare provider

We are in constant communication with health officials and will continue to actively monitor this situation. Based on the advice of the Mississippi High School Activities Association we will continue with athletic events and competitions as scheduled at this time. We have been advised to restrict all non-essential travel and events for staff and students. The Kosciusko School District will continue to work diligently to ensure the safety and well-being of all our children, staff and community.

Sincerely,
Billy Ellzey
Kosciusko Schools
