The situation was explained in a letter that was sent out on Sunday, December 5, by Becky Jones, Interim Superintendent of Marshall Public Schools

Just some simple questions asked by a simple Radio Talk Show host.

The State Health and Human Services Department says we have some top-notch schools in Calhoun County when looking at promoting healthy lifestyles. 24 schools statewide are being recognized as the best for working to promote healthy eating habits, physical activity, and a tobacco-free lifestyle. 8 of the 24 are here in Calhoun County.

Calhoun County health administrators have been keeping a close eye on three area schools recently. They remain on the list of schools throughout Michigan that are experiencing what the state references as sites experiencing ongoing outbreaks of the COVID-19 virus.

While state, regional, and local health administrators are easing up on general COVID-19 virus controls. They’re sure keeping a close eye on schools. The state continues to publish a spreadsheet detailing the status of virus outbreaks at schools.

Tekonsha Community School district buildings are closed to students this week.  The district is taking the action due to COVID-19 related issues.

The district will have 52 buses parked around the community to provide internet access to students who may not have it otherwise.

First, they made cars and trucks. Now, they make ventilators and face masks.

They have a lot to figure out on THE DAY that schools must submit their plans, without all the guidance they need (or needed) from the state.

Time is running out on schools. They’re are required to have a reopening plan set up by this Saturday the 15th and submitted to the state.
