NEW SCOTLAND — The Voorheesville Central School District announced on Wednesday that it has learned that three more community members had tested positive for COVID-19: a person from the elementary school, an individual at its secondary campus, and someone from Clayton A. Bouton High School.

These marked the sixth, seventh, and eighth COVID-19 cases of the school year.

The secondary campus consists of Clayton A. Bouton High School Voorheesville Middle School. The elementary school is located about a mile-and-a-half away.

The district’s notes to parents said that, “based on preliminary information from the Albany County Department of Health, no other individuals from” either the elementary school, secondary school campus, or high school “need to quarantine at this time.”

The schools will remain open for in-person instruction.
