MANTON — Manton Treasurer Marlene Lott revealed some surprising news at a recent commission meeting: according to the federal government, the city population has shrunk since 2010.
The current school year has been full of significant changes for staff, students and their families.
Virtual learning, different schedules, canceled events and limited outside interaction have all been part of the landscape. What that has meant is volunteers, assemblies, and other events have not been part of the typical school day or after school.
For programs like D.A.R.E. or SEEDS After School, the pandemic has meant altering what they do or stopping altogether due to safety protocols at the school to limit student and staff exposure to outside sources.
Wexford County D.A.R.E. officer Cory Lipar said the sheriffâs office is still doing its due diligence within all the countyâs school districts whenever possible, but as far as getting into the classrooms that has not happened.
