Pueblo County School District 70 is expressing concerns about a recent rise in COVID-19 cases among students in the district.
The increase in cases has led to exposures of students at nine of the 21 schools in the district.
One of the major exposures was at Rye High School, where the school closed completely and returned to online learning due to a large number of students having to quarantine. We are concerned there is a lack of testing for variants in the community. There seems to be some extra steps needed in order to do that, said Todd Seip, public information officer at D70. This is something we are tracking.
