Amid climbing COVID cases Jackson County Public Schools has so far managed to keep students behind desks at its nine schools. The school system’s mask policy gets the credit for keeping quarantine and case numbers down, officials said. The county board has unanimously voted to keep mask mandates in place for everyone inside a Jackson County school building since this summer. JCPS also offers COVID testing at all the school locations weekly. Parents can consent for students to participate in this screening at their website.
