The Karns City Area School District will provide instruction remotely for all grades beginning Monday through the Thanksgiving break from Nov. 25 to 30.

The district announced Friday the decision was made due to the growing number of COVID-19 cases in the district and following consultations with the Butler Health System.

Parents will be notified about a possible return date over the holiday break. Extracurricular activities will continue unless students are otherwise notified.
