USD 439 will start its Christmas break two days sooner than planned. With 92 students currently out of school due to influenza, COVID, and COVID quarantine, Superintendent Larry Roth recommended on behalf of the central office and school administration that the Board of Education cancel school and all school-related activities, including basketball practices, for Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 20-21. Those days were scheduled to be the final two days before the break. “We’d like to put an end to exposures as quickly as we can here at school,” Roth told the board at the regularly scheduled meeting last Monday night. “We recommend we not have school next Monday and Tuesday in hopes that getting everyone away from each other will let everyone go home and have a healthy and safe Christmas.”
