From staff reports
Clarion-Limestone Area School District’s in-person classes have been canceled through Wednesday and about 92 people are now under quarantine as a result of two positive cases that have been reported in the district.
Meanwhile, Allegheny-Clarion Valley School District announced Monday it will remain on distance learning through Friday, Nov. 13.
At Clarion-Limestone, Superintendent Amy J. Glasl said in a letter posted to the district’s website that the high school and elementary school both have reported a positive case.
Glasl’s letter said students were expected to complete remote learning due to the district needing more time to work with the state Department of Health and allow for the buildings to be deep-cleaned.
Another letter by Glasl that was posted to the district’s website late Monday afternoon said the Department of Health didn’t get back to the district Monday, so remote learning will continue through Wednesday.
Remote learning was already planned for the students on Wednesday as a part of the district’s regularly scheduled “Remote Wednesday” learning.
Glasl’s second letter said she will be in touch with parents as soon as the district is given further guidance from the Department of Health.
At A-C Valley, Superintendent David McDeavitt, in a transcript, cited “ongoing COVID issues” as the reason distance learning will continue through the end of next week.
“Currently, we have seven people who have recently tested positive for COVID and we have three people awaiting results from their test. In addition, we have over 60 people quarantined,” McDeavitt said.
The closure, he said, includes all district activities. That includes, but not limited to, athletics and the Clarion County Career Center students.
