The board officially agreed to close the schools to help our children recover. I am honestly stunned that this happened and it is entirely because you kept the pressure on. Please keep watching to make sure they follow through on their promise to prioritize health.

We are wanting the Mingo BOE to close the schools down due to excessive sickness in our schools. Our kids get better and go right back to school and end up sick again. We the parents of Mingo County are demanding that you take our children's health into consideration. We have not had any a snow days to amount to anything do the kids can do their work at home.

I honestly never thought we would reach one hundred signatures when I started this. This is down to all of you caring about our children and wanting them to be safe.

I am a Grandmother to multiple students in school in Mingo Co.If closing schools for a few days would be beneficial to stopping the spread of the flu,I think it should be done.However students should be sent assignments or given assignments in order to maintain studies.

All the counties around us have shut down due to the sickness but mingo county BOE act like they dont care about our kids. My little girl has the flu now and had to miss all last week it's not fair that these kids are getting behind just because their sick!

I take care of a lady with altzimers, she has a low immune system I'm afraid that my children will pack this mess home, we stay home other than them going to school and church, please close and clean and give this time to die out

My child has went TWO days within the last two weeks of school...returns to school one day and brings another illness back home to miss another four days....other counties within the state of WV have shut down; so what I want to know what is Mingo County’s excuse....
