Thursday, March 12th, 2020 -- 7:42 AM
(WDLB) -The Marshfield School District has had two of its trips for this spring canceled because of concerns over the spread of the coronavirus.That's what Superintendent Ryan Christianson told the Board of Education last night.
"We had a group of computer students that were scheduled to travel to the University of Minnesota next week. That group has cancelled that program, so those students will not be travelling out of state as a result. We also had a biology research team that was scheduled to travel to San Diego over Spring Break. That organization has also, on their own, cancelled that trip, so we're handling all these situations on a case-by-case basis."
The Board last night did give its approval to two trips scheduled for next year, one headed for Florida in March, and the other going to London and Paris in July. The Board also okayed travel for the Mock Trial Team to participate in state competition this weekend in Madison, and for the FBLA group to attend a state leadership conference later this month, also in Madison. That area has had two of the state's six confirmed cases of COVID-19.
