Valley City (VCPS)  Valley City Public Schools Superintendent Josh Johnson, has issued a statement, clarifying Pending COVID-19 Tests.

“We do not recommend keeping students/staff out of school if any individual within the house is being tested and is “Asymptomatic”. This would include individuals tested because of employment and/or individuals participating in mass testing events.

1) Pending COVID-19 Tests
If an individual in the house is being tested for COVID-19 and if a student would subsequently be considered a close contact, we do not want the student in school or activities until a negative test has been confirmed and/or the quarantine period has expired. In the last week we have had students present in school and in activities while parents were waiting for test results.”
