Atlantic Community School District Superintendent Steve Barber, this (Thursday) morning, issued a statement to Staff and Parents of students in the District. The statement said “We were notified last evening that we had positive COVID test results from individuals in the school district.  We are following our Return to Learn plan and Cass County Public Health procedures in regards to quarantine.  Individuals affected by these positive cases have been communicated with, which is our process.”

Barber says “We continue to follow mitigation strategies of social distancing, handwashing, mask usage, disinfecting, and other strategies.  Although we have experienced a low positive case analysis rate, we must continue to follow our plan with fidelity.”

Mr. Barber told KJAN News if there’s any new information with regard to cancellations of games or events due to student/staff exposure, that information will be disseminated through the media and other sources. But as of today, there are no activities impacted by the positive test results.
