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.

LITTLE ROCK – The Arkansas State Broadband Map will allow Arkansans to pinpoint broadband providers in the state and will assist state agencies in developing broadband policy, Governor Asa Hutchinson said today in announcing the release of the map.
“This project puts Arkansas on the cutting edge of broadband mapping nationally,” Governor Hutchinson said. “Broadband delivery is a top priority, and long before the pandemic, I asked state agencies to accelerate the closing of the digital divide between our cities and less-populated rural communities. Our diligence and proactive efforts put us in position to utilize federal funds we have received during the pandemic to enhance our broadband system. Our map identifies broadband sources by structure, a level of detail that allows users to find exactly where broadband is available.”
