Another Karns City High School student tested positive for COVID-19 prompting school district officials to consider temporarily closing the high school.

Superintendent Eric Ritzer said the district was notified Tuesday of the most recent positive test. Oct. 2 was the last day the student was in the school. The district and Pennsylvania Department of Health have begun contact tracing and the school cleaning remains ongoing, he said.

He also said the administration is working with the school board and health department about a possible temporary closure of the high school.

On Friday, the district announced it was notified that day that a high school student tested positive for the virus. The student was last in the building Sept. 24.

A Chicora Elementary School student tested positive on Sept. 16 and was expected to return to classes the following week along with classmates who came in contact with the student.
