From staff reports
LEWISTOWN Mifflin County High School will be closed through Sunday and students will engage in remote learning for the rest of the week after Mifflin County School District administration were contacted on Tuesday by officials from the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
According to a letter from MCSD chief operations officer Vance Varner, which was sent to parents via the district’s Skylert messaging system, the health department made the recommendation to close because it is concerned there are more COVID-19 cases among high school students that are not yet symptomatic.
The district reports that since April 10, a total of 23 students have reported testing positive for COVID-19 and that currently 133 MCHS students are quarantined.
