Mineral County Schools will continue to function as Red for the week of Nov. 16 through Nov. 21. Schools will remain closed with students on remote learning and all extracurricular activities will remain suspended.

Regardless of the color the system may be on the DHHR Map/WVDE Daily or Saturday Map, our 7-day infection rate continues to be nearly 4 times the standard for Red and our percent positive is more than double the state average.

We do not feel the need to delay this announcement until Saturday evening. We will share more this weekend regarding specific details for next week.

Please help slow community spread by following public health guidelines and avoiding the 3 C’s: crowded places, close contact settings, and confined spaces.
