Some schools in Paulding and Cherokee counties that returned to in-person learning were forced to have hundreds of students and staff quarantine after a number of people in both counties tested positive for COVID-19. Neither school district required masks as part of the dress code.
As a result, Paulding shut down and will return next week to having in-person learning two days a week and virtual classes three days a week. Etowah High School in Cherokee County is set to be back to in-person learning Aug. 31.
