COLUMBIA COUNTY, Pa. Last week, the state recommended schools bring back elementary students as soon as possible.
Both the Benton Area and Millville Area School Districts welcomed students back into the classroom at the beginning of the fall semester, then switched to virtual classes around the holidays.
But the neighboring districts are now going in different directions.
Benton is staying online; Millville is returning to the building. We have been fortunate in Millville. Our positivity rate has not been what s been experienced in other places, number one. Number two, our enrollment in our school district is under 600 students in totality, said Millville Area Superintendent Joseph Rasmus.
