The Barton Community College Child Development Center (CDC) will be temporarily closing due to the identification of an individual who is a confirmed positive case of COVID-19 being present during their infectious time period. 

A response plan was created quickly but carefully as a joint effort between CDC staff, Barton Community College administrators and the various state and county agencies involved with managing the spread of COVID-19, including the Barton County Health Department.
