Clarkston Community Center recently announced that like many agencies and organizations in Dekalb County, as well as the Metro-Atlanta area, it has canceled all educational programs offered through the center. This cancellation will remain in effect until Friday, March 27th unless determined otherwise, according to a press release.
This is being done in alignment with the postponement of classes by the Dekalb County School Board. The programs canceled are:
Clarkston Youth Development Initiative Afterschool Program
Senior ESL Classes
Adult Computer & Technology Classes
The center will continue to provide services to the community such as the Clarkston Cares Food Pantry, which is scheduled for Saturday, March 21, referral to agencies that can assist with additional services, as well as the provision of rental space.
The center may make changes and provide additional services. It is also taking several actions to help residents feel confident about their health and safety while in the Clarkston Community Center. The organization has added additional precautionary measures such as increased sanitization procedures for workspaces as well as hardware such as doorknobs and light switches, and phones and computer keyboards. These are all common touch-points that will receive daily attention and additional sanitization. The center will also be fully stocked on handwashing soap and hand sanitizers.
Staff is frequently cleaning and disinfecting all equipment and tables, including employee facilities and work stations.
In addition to these actions, the center has increased hygiene awareness signage for employees and visitors, encouraging everyone to practice good hygiene with frequent hand washing. Employees who are sick are asked to stay home. If anyone has a fever or becomes sick while at work, they will immediately be releases to see their medical provider.
