Marion Community Schools was informed that a student who was last at Marion High School on Monday, Nov. 15, has been diagnosed as COVID-19 positive. In connection with this case, 7 students were identified as school related close contacts and were informed and provided with quarantine and symptom monitoring instructions, but all of them were exempted from quarantine due to consistent mask use and/or vaccination.  

There will be no onsite classes at Marion Regional Career Center on Monday, Nov. 22, and Tuesday, Nov. 23. (Thanksgiving break begins Wednesday, Nov. 24.)
