Teresa Sperry, a fifth -grader who attended Hillpoint Elementary School, died just five days after she first experienced a headache. According to Yahoonews, two days after her death health officials contacted the family and explained to them that she had tested positive for Covid.

The parents have spoke out stating that they have always followed all safety measures to protect their daughter from the virus. Even by driving her to school every morning to avoid her having to ride the bus with other children.

“That was her classroom job,” father, Jeff Sperry shared. “And she said that if the kids were sick and needed to go home, she had to go get their book bag and take it back,” her mother stated.

The couple first made it known to public by making a post on Facebook sharing,”Teresa would have continued to be here if people would have stopped sending their sick kids to school. Her teacher at Hillpoint gave her the job of ‘nurse.’ She was required to walk all sick students in her class to the nurses office.”

School officials responded to the parent’s claims very quickly, “The protocol at Hillpoint Elementary School is for the classroom teacher or any adult to contact the main office with a Code ‘C.’ When this occurs, one of the administrators or school nurse will come to the classroom to pick up the student,” Ward, the spokesperson, was quoted telling the Pilot. “We are still investigating to ensure that this process was followed with fidelity.”
