The COVID situation took up a majority of the discussion at last night’s Wabash District #348 school board meeting. The discussion centered around rapid tests that were administered yesterday to members of the JV football team and the Golden Aces soccer team. Board member Ryan Peter said the district had been following state guidance on COVID protocols throughout the pandemic…at least until yesterday….
Superintendent Dr. Chuck Bleyer said he would be meeting with administrators and the athletic department to develop a COVID plan when it comes to testing of athletes and what happens if a student-athlete refuses to take a test. Once that plan is developed, it will be sent to the school board to vote on via email before it is implemented. Peter and board member Susie Wood wanted to make sure that parental consent to testing is included in the plan.
