POCAHONTAS, Ark. (KAIT) - Superintendent Jerry Martens says he was initially concerned about returning from the holiday break with the number of COVID-19 cases rising in the state.
The district is currently in the Arkansas Center for Health Improvementâs âRed Zone,â meaning there are 50-99 infections per 10,000 people of those living in the Pocahontas School District.
âI was really concerned that there were going to be some high numbers coming back into the school on January Fourth,â Martens said. âFortunately, that was not the case [Monday].â
