A Georgia school district said Sunday that it will close a third high school through the end of the month amid a COVID-19 outbreak.

The Cherokee County School District decided to close Creekview High School after 25 students tested positive for the coronavirus and 500 of its 1,800 in-person students were placed "precautionary quarantine," it said in a statement. Additional pending tests could "significantly increase the quarantine total," and the decision was made with the school board and health officials.

Creekview is the third high school to close in the Georgia district outside Atlanta, in addition to Etowah and Woodstock high schools. All three schools are tentatively schedule to reopen Aug. 31.

Creekview began the year with around 31,000 of its 42,000 students attending in-person instruction. The school district recommended that students wear masks but did not require it.

2. Closing the country for 60 days is cheaper than this open/close/open/close yo-yoing

Someone in a position of authority is bound to stumble across this fact sooner or later doncha think?
