MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) - Students in the Manhattan-Ogden school district will notice a change in protocols this school year when it comes to quarantining and isolation following a positive result from a COVID-19 test.

“Number one priority is, I’m going to say it again, it’s that 5 days of the week, in-person instruction, in a safe environment for our students and for us to all work together as a community to do everything we can to ensure that.” USD 383 Manhattan-Ogden Superintendent, Dr. Marvin Wade says.
