After hearing the concerns, Thorpe said the district is doing everything they are supposed to be doing.
Currently, the district has two positive COVID-19 cases among students, and 19 are in quarantine. There are also seven staff members COVID-positive or in quarantine.
The school district recently mourned the loss of high school science teacher Simone Parker, who died of COVID-19 complications on January 2. Thorpe said student and staff case numbers doubled while the district was in virtual-only instruction in November and December.
During the meeting, Thorpe also told the board, staff will begin receiving the Moderna vaccine Thursday, January 21. The Trigg County Health Department will administer the vaccines.
