January 21, 2021 by Kathy Sands

NCOE HIgh School Principal Brad Wehlerman on Wednesday night told the school board that the  school currently had 45 remote learning students, with four to five students presently in quarantine. He stated that some students are moving back and forth between in person and remote learning, saying “they are scared.” Wehlerman said the students who are switching back and forth mostly keep up with their work, but this is hard on the teachers as they never know when they will be in class.
