The following is an update from the Texas Department of State Health Services:
DSHS has updated the Texas school exclusion criteria to align the requirement for COVID-19 with those for other respiratory viruses like flu. Students now only need to be excluded from school until they have been fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication.
From this point forward, Overton ISD students and employees will follow the above guidelines. There is no longer a 5 day exclusion for COVID. Once you are fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication, you may return to school.
