There have been 33 confirmed cases as of Monday, and according to the Superintendent
Alex Anemone, the number has already gone up. The majority of the cases are at
the high school.
Anemone released a statement, saying in part, “We have met with the health
department and are mitigating issues causing concern and will remain open for
full days of instruction next week. Contact tracing at WMHS revealed that this
matter is overwhelmingly concentrated in individuals not fully
vaccinated."

The district is encouraging
vaccinations, also saying there are connections between some of the cases and
out of school events.
One of the recent events was a varsity football game on Sept. 10. There
have also been cases in the elementary and middle schools, but the bulk of the
cases are at the high school.
