Students WILL NOT report to school Wednesday, Aug. 18, Thursday, Aug. 19, or Friday, Aug. 20, according to a school bulletin on the website for the West Carroll Special School District.
Director of Schools Preston Caldwell said almost halfway through the district’s third week of school, the district made the hard decision to shut down for the remainder of the week. Caldwell said there are 35 positive cases in the district and that eight are employees. At least 300 students are currently in quarantine.
The bulletin issued by Caldwell read: “This time is needed for quarantined relief, as well as to better prepare us for distance learning. All non-quarantined employees will report to work as usual. Please check with your building administrator if you have questions. It is my hope and prayer that everyone non-quarantined will be able to return to school Monday, August 23.
