Otott's weekend letter announcing the canceling of two days of in-person classes came on the heels of one from Saturday that was sent by North Paulding High School Principal Gabe Carmona,"At this time, we know there were six students and three staff members who were in school for at least some time last week who have since reported to us that they have tested positive," Carmona's letter stated.

9...that’s it?
Soooo less than 1%? More will get the flu. Nice try, next!!
9 Teenagers got the sniffles, stayed tuned to NPR, your Fear Porn Specialists
You forgot to mention the death rate for Covid is less than the death rate for the common flu.
Wait until a kid or two dies, then everyone will be up in arms like I can’t believe they put our kids in danger like this.
I’m a Bx chick. Moved south 1st day neighbor said “ sometimes us southern people get the feeling all y’all northerners think we stupid cuz we talk so slow” school? Proof there r some kinds of stupid u just can’t fix
Proof some kinds of stupid you just can’t fix even when ur a teacher
Y’all seriously thought there wouldn’t even be 9? THAT surprises you 9.
Now tell me how they're doing.
No this is nothimv but the teacher unioms head qtr playing politicam war games
What’s the false positive rate of the test they were using?
Shocking!
Stupid Georgia
And they’re all fine You should really put your Gates millions to better use than an unapproved student pic
Tested positive for SARSCOV2, but not sick with COVID19. Terror profiting media dishonesty conflate the two in order to keep us clicking and docile. If you’re under 60 without comorbidities you’ll be fine.
'It is what it is.' - Trump
i hope the student who posted this picture gets off suspension
Crowded? JohnLewis
FakeNews. FalseTesting FalseTracking FalseData FakeScience 😈
Way to go Georgia! Put kids to the test to prove 45’s point that kids are “immune” to the virus.
Wow, 9. Try scsring everyone. Media is a disgrace.
PaulDereume Only 9? Give it another week.
It takes about 14 days to get results back.
9 cases... assuming those 9 have family, friends, a commute. How many more have been infected?
BrianKempGA pcsdsuptotott and pauldingboe owe these students an apology ... and their immediate resignations.
So. What else they test positive for Everyone knows the first day of school is nothing but a massive plague spread event. Lil monsters
NPR is part of the machine. This is fear-mongering. It shouldn't surprise anyone in the first week when kids report. The fact they were identified is fantastic. Only 15 out of 163,522 deaths. The country needs to move forward. NPR needs to wake up not woke up!
Why don't they test everyone before school starts?
Holy shit nine? Out of hundreds of thousands?
This will never work. Kids will get infected. Then you will stop school to disinfect the school. Kids will get infected. Then you will stop school to disinfect the school. kids can't learn like that.
Is this where I say.... “I am shocked to my VERY CORE!?” .......End Scene
Maybe if they enforced proper social distancing and mask usage this stuff wouldn’t happen. Just a thought.
What an unlikely and totally unforeseeable turn of events!
CDC (public agency) guidelines. Is it a cold or flu?
Quit testing and we go back to normal.
Will they (as a community) learn from this though or go straight back to the same conditions after two days?
Wasted time. Georgia sucks!
The superintendent must be fired.
BrianKempGA be like...
No more Corona hysteria. No more daily reports about cases. No more scaring the young. Get back to live as usual. Stop scaring the young and the foolish.
And I'm sure they're all doing just fine.
99.8 % of them will experience the sniffles!
Next one of these stories is coming from Rhea County, TN.

Don't suspend the messenger
Wow less deadly than the flu for them 😱😱
uh, high school hallways are generally crowded between classes... I don't know why... but...
Surprised this wasn't a Florida story.
realDonaldTrump
Definitely some libtard parents whose kids were already sick before going to school
So sad. 😔 ⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️
TheKingCenter The adults are behaving irresponsibly by sending children to school during a plague pandemic. Why has the US response failed so poorly? Racism, elitism, greed will kill so many.
And your point? These kids have been hanging with each other ALL spring and summer
9 out of how many? Your data is meaningless without knowing that!
Omg I can’t believe this happened!!! I was told children and teenagers were immune
I'm not trying to get in wfp mess but what happened to we all in this together? If you wear a mask you can save others. So how you threaten a young kid and say you for everybody when she tried to do the right thing yall should be ashamed'
Just 9? They didn't catch it at school. They already had it when they went. Just take everyone temp like they do for essential workers.
My dog just farted.
A whole 9 people? Is this suppose to be news
only 9? or only 9 that were bad off enough to get checked out?
What a waste of time. They’ll spend less time actually following the curriculum if they’re constantly being shuffled back and forth between in-person and distance learning, and it gives parents little to no time to prepare in advance when it happens again.
9 now out of hundreds exposed. How many in 3 weeks?
Love it! Americans are eating themselves alive. It is payback for causing chaos and wars in other countries.
georgia is truly whack. please don’t move here.
TheKingCenter Surprise Surprise 🙄🙄
9
Oh but it’s a hoax isn’t it?
How many were hospitalized? How many died? Since all the research says that kids in that age group have almost zero statistical chance of having complications, what's your point, NPR? Or are you just pushing more 'fear porn?'
The virus will always have the last laugh....and they are still too dumb to understand that.
'I apologize for any inconvenience this schedule change may cause, but hopefully we can all agree that the health and safety of our students and staff takes precedence over any other considerations at this time,' the letter states. 😂😂😂
Why am I not surprised?
EEEEEKKK! CLOSE THE ECONOMY! STOP THE WORLD! LEAVE YOUR HOUSE AND YOU WILL DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE
And it begins
Whoa, did not see this comin.
So the rioters are immune but students get it this quick?
Stay locked up in New York please.

Community spread will double this week, triple the next, and so on. pauldingboe, pcsdsuptotott & GovKemp this will be on your hands. I can't even hope God has mercy on your souls.
Good grief. Will you commit to doing a followup story if/when no one dies or even knows they're sick? Or does that not fit your panicporn narrative?
Duh
Do you think their classrooms ignore science as much as their administrators? I hope not. TrumpVirus VoteBiden
How many more infections will it take for them close the school?
What? No way. Wish we could have predicted that.
Wow! 9 whole cases? Imagine if 9 kids in a week came down with the flu at school...
Same district
Don't forget the seasonal cold is upon us. Dont let them deceive you into believing it's covid 19.
Only 9?
Mitch can't get that Coronavirus liability protection for these Trump-friendly school districts fast enough! 100FrogLegs
GeorgiaEntitlement
I guess the gov is still enjoying this trial-error way to handle it. Smh
🙄 are they symptomatic? how many total kids attend that school? why report anything but facts?! 🤷🏻♀️
AHEM!!!!! CCSDK12
And none of those living in reality are surprised.
Duh! The writing was on the wall. If only GA had a real Governor that wasn't beholden to an autocrat.
Wait, I thought they were almost immune?
This number seems to change with every post from each media outlet.. Easy not to believe or trust them.
9 people? That is almost 6 million people! Whatever will we do? Panic panic panic.
Old news again.
What’s the recovery rate?
It was a PeacefulProtest.
did anyone at all present symptoms?
What is the total population of the school npr? Should have been in the title to provide context. HatchetJob
Some people are immune to science :P
That went well.
