When Mahomet-Seymour Schools welcomed back students a few weeks ago, they were greeted with a couple of early cases of COVID.

Since that time, Superintendent Dr. Lindsey Hall says things have been going very well. She explains the Champaign-Urbana Health District was great to work with. They were able to keep their doors open and find ways to keep students coming to class.

In their communities, Dr. Hall believes there was an overwhelming majority of people glad to have kids back to school and from the kids' perspectives to be back to school. She points out things have gone well since they worked through the early bumps of COVID cases.

Dr. Hall calls every day they can have children in the school buildings is a gift. While she feels great, they are prepared for unexpected circumstances to arise and their mindset is to take things day-by-day.

Dr. Hall directs her communities to the district website with a wealth of resources about COVID and Mahomet-Seymour Schools. She also hopes anyone interested in their district will follow them on social media outlets.
