Perry Community School District Superintendent Clack Wicks announced Friday that one Perry Elementary School student, two Perry Middle School students and three Perry High School students tested positive for COVID-19 between Sept. 4-10.
“All other students can attend classes as normal,” Wicks said.
The Perry School Board will consider the district’s Return to Learn Plan for September at the Sept. 13 meeting at 6 p.m. in the Brady Library of the Perry High School. The August plan called for full-day, face-to-face instruction with no in-school testing, no contact tracing, no quarantining and no mask recommendation.
“Masks are a choice,” Wicks said. “It’s not an encouragement or a discouragement.”
The current population of students and staff in the Perry Community School District numbers about 1,800. Some 60 students and 20 staff members tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus during the 2020-2021 school year in Perry.
The SARS-CoV-2 virus has infected four students since classes began Aug. 23, according to communications from the PCSD. The list of cases follows.
8/23-30 PES 1
