One area school district is shutting down until November 16 --- because of Covid-19, other illnesses, and staff absences.
The district in Newaygo County has 1,500 students.
In a letter to families on the district's website, NSP superintendent Jeff Wright says there weren't enough substitute teachers to fill the gap --- a school day doesn't count if a school doesn't have at least 75 percent attendance. The lost days will be treated as snow days.
