    I know many are complaining, but I, too, would like to say, “Thanks,” for continuing to cover the COVID numbers. I appreciate the info.

    Thank you for continued Covid cases updates. Is there a reason why the school districts are not reporting cases as they were in the beginning of the term??? Are the numbers available to parents at each school? And if they are, why is it not reported in the news?
