Superintendent Karl Galey tells Eagle Country 99.3 that there has been a positive case at Central Elementary School. The positive case comes a week to the day since the school year started.

Due to Dearborn County Health Department requirements, the student must quarantine for 14 days before returning to school regardless of a negative COVID-19 test.

"Contact tracing has been conducted in cooperation with our local county health department to identify those having direct contact so they may be quarantined too," said Galey.
