Dodgeville High School’s student athletes are waiting to return to their teams. Winter sports and other co-curricular activities are delayed due to rising COVID-19 cases in Iowa County. The students wonder why the modifications they say worked during fall activities couldn’t be used now. Concerns from Iowa County’s health department led the school board to shift to an all-virtual model in October – which included delaying any close contact activities.
Superintendent Paul Weber said he understands what this loss means to his students, but he also has to keep everyone safe from a possible holiday surge of COVID-19 cases. The Dodgeville School Board will decide Thursday if it will delay extra-curricular events for a longer period of time. Officials say the decision would go into effect Monday.
