The principal responded by explaining the closet was being used as an isolation area for symptomatic students, the Post and Courier reported.
“Unfortunately, we do not have another location where the nurse can keep an eye on a student as well as assist other students who come to the nurse’s office,” Ms. Hamilton reportedly wrote.
The Horry County Schools District Office cited a section in its “Re-Opening Plan” that requires students with COVID-19 symptoms to be placed in an isolated area until their parent or guardian can arrive to pick them up.
“Due to space limitations, some storage areas/locations in the nurse’s office have been temporarily repurposed into an isolation area,” an HCS spokesperson said, a Fox News affiliate reported. “This isolation area is where symptomatic students are temporarily placed while they wait for their parents to arrive. Most of these areas also have air purifiers, to include Myrtle Beach Elementary School.”

âSo, when HCS sent an email about a miracle happening for Christmas, we took a collective breath in. Could this finally be a moment where we are shown appreciation? Do the powers that be finally want to include us at the table? To show their gratitude and acknowledge our efforts?â said Jenny Leckey, a former HCS Teacher of the Year and current high school English instructor.
âThe answer is no. Instead, we are insulted by being told we can wear jeans for a $5 donation to a religion-based charity. Itâs basically asking us to give part of our paycheck back to wear a comfortable piece of clothing. This isnât anything against the charity; they do wonderful things to support this community. No, this is about respect, or lack there of. That email triggered a deep seeded feeling of frustration and anger that we have been burying for way too long.â
