The reality is that there will be positive COVID – 19 tests at schools. 

Shelby Eastern Superintendent Todd Hitchcock knows this as his school corporation had its first earlier this week.

He went on to note in a statement posted to the corporation’s social media that he wants information on these situations to be accurate and transparent.

The superintendent says this shouldn’t come as a surprise.

The efforts taken by the schools won’t be enough.  Community efforts are key, too.

All in all, Hitchcock says it’s been a good start to the school year.
