(Belcourt, ND) -- Leaders with Turtle Mountain Community Schools say they are continuing with their plan to reopen in-person learning Tuesday.  

The district canceled classes for all of last week and part of the previous one because of a spike in COVID-19 cases. Superintendent Dr. Michelle Thomas-Langan says measures are in place to keep student and staff safe at school, including masking and distancing.  

She also says spread connected to the school is lower than it is in the overall community.
