Union City, Tenn.–Due to having a confirmed COVID-19 case in Obion County, Obion County Schools will not continue to deliver meals and instructional materials to residences as previously announced.
Obion County Director of Schools Tim Watkins issued a press release this morning stating that the district is attempting to minimize health risks as much as possible.
“By suspending deliveries and not having students pick up and return school work we are minimizing the public access to the schools, which will allow us to continue food service,” he said.
“At this time we will continue to have the pick-up sites for meals as we did prior to spring break. We are awaiting further guidance to determine when we will be able to deliver meals and instructional materials to students. We are attempting to minimize health risk for our staff while still providing meals for the children of Obion County,” he said.
