Slowing the spread of COVID-19 in Fayette County can't be done by just one individual, organization or group, it takes all of us working together to protect each other. As school starts back on August 17, students and staff will be adhering to safety protocols to help keep each other safe, these include wearing face coverings, appropriate distancing from each other, and frequent hand washing and hand sanitizing. While students and staff will be practicing safety measures, the health of our schools also lies in your hands, whether you are a parent, grandparent, business owner, or resident at-large, your actions and decisions will have an impact on schools being able to stay open, and our community remaining productive.

WHAT WE WILL NOT BE ADDRESSING IN THIS FORUM As an important note, we do NOT plan to focus on issues such as our health care's capacity to test for or treat COVID, or our state's plans to open up parts of the economy, as those issues are beyond the scope of Fayette FACTOR and Drug Free Fayette. We acknowledge the importance of these issues to many people, but again, they are outside the scope of our organization. We have a renowned speaker in Jeff Breedlove, Director of Communications with the Georgia Council on Substance Abuse, as well as three local therapists, recovery and mental health experts as panelists.​
