Below is the update Student Modified Quarantine Protocols for Rock Hills Schools. The major different is that students that are placed in a modified quarantine by the county health department are eligible to ride their bus or suburban to and from school if they wear a mask correctly and their seat partner wears a masks correctly while on the bus.  Our buses have assigned seats.  A majority of the districts bus seating has been assigned to keep family groups together.
