MINGO JUNCTION Faculty and staff at Indian Creek Local Schools will be obtaining vaccinations during the next week in the latest move to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Superintendent T.C. Chappelear informed board members during a brief session on Thursday that roughly 140 employees will receive their shots on Thursday in the Indian Creek High School gym in cooperation with the Jefferson County Health Department.
“We will have a vaccination day on Thursday,” he said. “We will have a remote learning day that day to help facilitate the vaccinations.”
In other business, officials hope to return to more in-person classes for the remainder of the year and are already setting their sights on graduation. Chappelear said they also plan to hold commencement exercises this spring. The board has already scheduled next year’s graduation for May 22, 2022, at Franciscan University of Steubenville, but is also eying activities this year for May 23.

MADISON, Wis. – An ever-changing number that plays a role in allowing Dane County to loosen restrictions is trending in the right direction.
Public Health Madison & Dane County tracks what percent of COVID-19 positive cases are contacted by public health within 48 hours of the test being collected. That started at a high of 89.4% in late May, before ranging between about 42% and 83% through the beginning of September. It then began a steady drop, falling to its lowest point at 15% in November.
PHMDC Contact Tracer Anne Morgan Giroux said that number is now back up to 77% rising above 70% last week for the first time since early September.
