But unfortunately, that’s not the case.
On Monday (Feb. 8), Bolden told the Solon Board of Education that since Friday (Feb. 5), the district has had 10 students and eight staff members test positive for COVID-19.
“Over the weekend alone, we had three students and two staff members test positive,” he said. “Because of those positive tests, we’ve had about 70 quarantines (for students and staff).”
