STATE OF OUR SCHOOLS: Back-to-school resources
The news comes following an outbreak that resulted in 150 students
either testing positive for COVID-19 or dealing with symptoms.
The outbreak is contained to the high school and has been traced
to a district event last week.
According to the district’s COVID-19 dashboard, the number of
students testing positive for the virus jumped dramatically on March 30.
Twenty-one students tested positive on Wednesday and an additional 27 on
Thursday. In response, the school went to half-days last Thursday and
Friday.

The regular schedule resumed Monday, but mask-wearing
is back in play.
The superintendent said in a statement that they will follow the
data and expect to see a steady decline in cases before they move back
to a mask-optional environment. He’s urging students to stay home
if they feel sick or are showing any symptoms.
