LAKE PLACID — Lake Placid Middle-High School is shifting its students to remote learning again after a staff member tested positive for COVID-19.
In a call to parents on Wednesday, district Superintendent Roger Catania said middle and high school students would attend class remotely on Thursday and Friday while the Essex County Health Department conducts contact tracing.
This isn’t the first time a case of COVID-19 has been discovered at Lake Placid Central School District. Since September, the district has seen at least seven cases of COVID-19, according to the state’s COVID-19 Report Card database. Of those, one was a staff member, four were off-site students, and two were on-site students.
