“The Northeastern Local School District is committed to the safety and health of our students and staff,” said Superintendent John Kronour. “This decision was reached in consultation with the Clark County Combined Health District’s Health Commissioner Charles Patterson.”

The district reported 34 positive and 241 quarantined cases, according to the school’s COVID-19 dashboard.
