'- One of the cosmetology students tested positive for COVID-19 last week and no contact tracing was done following the positive result. The fact that a student tested positive was hidden from the student body until 7/29/2020. Another cosmetology student, who is close friends with the positive student, has been at home with COVID like symptoms since the first student was ordered to stay at home because of her symptoms. This second student may or may not have tested positive, the information given by the school director has been vague and conflicting. The esthetics and the cosmetology students are forced to either eat lunch together in the same small room without any sort of ventilation where social distancing is impossible or eat lunch in their own personal vehicle. - Additionally the legal mask mandate has never been enforced by the school's director or by the staff of the school. In fact the director of the school refuses to wear his mask correctly and leaves his nose hanging out when he does decide to wear it. - On 7/29/2020, a third cosmetology student told three other cosmetology students that her mother, of whom this student lives with, has tested positive for COVID-19, but the student isn't staying home or wearing her mask at school because she, "doesn't feel sick." The director allegedly contacted the student in question and claims that the student denies these allegations. - When confronted about these violations of the ISDH school reopening standards, the school director became irate and hostile and started yelling at the students.
