With COVID quarantines rising, Wamego High may be forced to shift instruction mode

Wamego High School may be forced to switch its mode of teaching and learning if it can’t slow the spread of COVID-19 in its building. In a letter to USD 320 families Monday, Superintendent Tim Winter said the district has reached a COVID-19 crossroad after the number of quarantined students at the high school grew from 13 to 62 from Friday to Monday. The increase in quarantines is a direct result of just three positive students cases within the high school. Winter says approximately two dozen students were reportedly feeling ill Monday. The current number of quarantined students (62) is 14 percent of the onsite enrollment at the high school. The high school is the only building experiencing high numbers.
