NETTLETON, Miss. (WTVA) - Nettleton High School students are taking virtual classes this week due to a recent outbreak of COVID-19.
School Superintendent Tim Dickerson said the high school had an outbreak of eight COVID-19 cases at the school last week and another case on Sunday.
He said the school quarantined a third of its 300-plus students.
So, he and school board members shut it down for a week.
Kindergarten through 8th-grade students continue with in-person instruction.
