(New Carlisle, IN) - New Prairie Schools will continue with their current plan for how they're conducting in-person instruction, at least for now.

Schools have been running at 50 percent student capacity since the beginning of the fall semester.  Officials decided this week to keep the attendance restriction in place until at least the end of the first grading period on October 9.  That decision was concluded following a review of the latest COVID-19 numbers, officials said.

Since the beginning of the school year, school officials indicate two students, who have been attending in-person instruction at New Prairie Schools, have have tested positive for the virus.
