The Governor stated in his press conference today that the CDC has recommended that schools remain open unless the COVID-19 has been diagnosed within your county. International research has shown that closing schools is not an effective means in keeping this virus contained. WCC will remain open until we receive word from ADH that gives us a directive to close.
