Update - I spoke with one of the strike organizers at MHS.
The Menomonie School District recently announced that the high school will resume in-person classes at Menomonie High School on Monday, Dec. 14. The district had closed the High School previously due to the pandemic, and particularly because illness and quarantine cases for the staff had made it difficult to continue classes.
This is this week's COVID-19 status update with Dunn County's Health Services Director KT Gallagher. This week KT discusses why COVID numbers are different on different websites, the new guidelines on length of quarantine, how long immunity lasts, and what is going to happen with the new vaccines.
In this week's COVID-19 update, Menomonie School District Superintendent Joe Zydowsky wrote that the Menomonie High School will return to in-person learning on Monday, Dec. 14.
Hello SDMA Families and Staff.

231 Wisconsin businesses were awarded grants totaling 3 million dollars in the We're All Innovating Contest. This contest awards state CARES act funds to businesses that have found innovative solutions to issues raised by the COVID-19 pandemic. The competition was limited to businesses with 50 or fewer employees and is administered through the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC).
107 deaths were reported today in Wisconsin from COVID-19. It is entirely possible that part of that sudden spike was caused by a lag in reporting over the holiday weekend, but it is clear we are still suffering badly from the pandemic.
