The school nurse at JES saw upwards of 60 students on Monday, according to one source.

“The district is still far above the 80% attendance rate that serves as a marker before we consider closing,” said Fields.

Classrooms and buildings continue to be sanitized daily, according to Fields. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED-02/04/2025-6AM)
