COVID cases rise slightly in local schools this week As case rates start to fall in the county and state following a weeks-long surge, several local school districts saw their active case counts increase this week. Compared to this time last week, active cases on Friday, April 30, were higher in four area districts — although some only a few cases above last week’s levels. The following are the most recent case updates from area school districts. An update from Zeeland Public Schools Friday showed 54 active cases in the district, bringing the year-to-date total to 385. Friday’s count was 11 cases lower than a week ago for ZPS.
