ORE CITY, Texas — Two second-grade classes were sent home from Ore City ISD to quarantine for two weeks after a student tested positive for COVID-19, Superintendent Lynn Heflin confirmed Monday.
Heflin said the district was made aware of a student who had a confirmed COVID-19 case. That student's class and a class the student came in contact with during PE were both sent home.
