The Caston School Corporation will not be requiring students to quarantine non-symptomatic close contact people.

The Caston School Board approved the revision to Caston School Corporation's Re-Entry Plan 2021-22 Wednesday evening in the Caston High School Gymnasium, despite executive orders placed by  Governor Holcomb.

Caston Superintendent Paul Voigt said that parents will still be notified of any student that has come into close contact, but will be given two options. 

Voigt said there are, as of Wednesday, currently 38 students being quarantined.   21 of those 38 students were nonsymptomatic and quarantined for not wearing a mask.

The new guidelines are effective immediately, allowing those students who are currently being quarantined to return to school if they are not showing symptoms.
