Perry Community School District Superintendent Clack Wicks announced Friday that two Perry Elementary School students and one Perry High School students tested positive for COVID-19 between Aug. 30 and Sept. 3.
“All other students can attend classes as normal,” Wicks said. “Have a great Labor Day weekend.”
The Perry School Board approved the district’s Return to Learn Plan for August at the Aug. 9 meeting. The plan calls 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 Aug. 9. “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.
