MILTON – Parts of the Milton Area School District are closed until Thursday of this week and classes are being conducted online because of 4 positive COVID-19 cases among two buildings.
In a letter dated Sunday, Superintendent Cathy Keegan says the high school and middle school buildings are closed until Thursday – all other district buildings are open. Keegan says the district received notification of two middle school positive cases – one student and one staff member. There are also two high school students classified as presumptive positive by the Department of Health.
High School and Middle School students are studying online; those students will return to in-person classes Thursday unless a student is under an active quarantine. Keegan says families of affected children in contact with those positive cases are being contacted by the district, and the Department of Health is responsible for informing those families if quarantining is required.
The district says decisions about moving to a more remote-based instructional model are based on the level of community spread within the county and number of positive cases in a school within a 14-day period.
