BEND, Ore. (AP) — A COVID-19 outbreak at a central Oregon high school that required nearly half its students and staff into quarantine has prompted school officials to send students back to online learning for nearly two weeks.
As of Friday afternoon, 15 staff members and students from La Pine High School had been diagnosed with COVID-19, The Bulletin reported.
A letter sent to families Friday by interim principal Anne-Marie Schmidt said that resulted in the larger quarantine. She told the newspaper that resulted in many classes taught by substitutes, and some students becoming nervous about getting sick.
