(KNZA)--5th grade students at the Sabetha Elementary School will move to remote learning next week after several positive cases of COVID-19 are reported at the school.
Prairie Hills USD 113 Superintendent Todd Evans said in a statement Friday that eight adults at the school had tested positive for the virus within the past few days, and those adults working with the 5th grade class have been impacted the most.
Evans said the decision was made to move from on-site to remote learning from November 2-6 after consultation with community health professionals
In addition to the cleaning and disinfecting conducted by their custodial staff, Evans said a contractor will be disinfecting the facility this weekend.
He said they will continue to evaluate the situation and will keep the public posted if there are any new developments.
