LISBON Students at the Columbiana County Career and Technical Center returned to in-person learning this week after being on remote learning.
Director and Assistant Superintendent Jeremy Corbisello recently told the Career Center board that the school was able to resume classes now that all of the high school teaching staff is “healthy.”
Corbisello said the school has had 156 students and staff affected by COVID-19 since the start of the school year.
As of last week, there were only two students who have tested positive for the virus.
Students still have the option to continue with remote learning if they like, and Corbisello said about 19 students have chosen that route, which is fewer than the roughly 30 who were on remote learning at the beginning of the year.

Over $21 Billion in Emergency Grant Aid Available to Higher Education Institutions and Students through HEERF II Funding Under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act Wednesday, January 20, 2021
On December 27, 2020, the president signed into law the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA), which provides more than $81 billion in emergency support to elementary, secondary and postsecondary education. Over $21 billion of that total is allocated to higher education, including public, private nonprofit, and proprietary institutions and their students. Building on the structure of the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act of March 2020, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) has designated these additional higher education support funds under the CRRSAA as “HEERF II.”
New Program Keeps Low-Income Oklahoma Students in Private School
The state of Oklahoma launched a program last summer to help low-income families keep their students in private schools. The Stay in School Fund tuition assistance program, launched by Governor Kevin Stitt in July, is said to have exceeded expectations in ensuring low-income families who suffered a COVID-19 related job loss or demonstrated financial challenges could keep their child in their learning environment. Our Stay in School program has successfully supported more low-income children and their families than officials predicted for a fraction of the cost,” said Gov. Stitt. “By ensuring these children could remain within their educational support system amidst a global pandemic, we have provided critical stability for families who need it most.”
