St. Helena Schools is testing all students in its district after several students caught COVID when school started.
Superintendent Dr. Kelli Joseph said the decision was made to determine how much of the virus was inside of the school and if leaders should alter how the school is being held. She said they will make a decision about what needs to happen at their campuses, which could be that they continue face to face or in a hybrid version, or even full virtual.
As of yesterday, after testing nearly 300 students, 12 tested positive. This was not enough to meet the 5% threshold to trigger the district to alter its plans.
