NEDERLAND — More than a half-dozen people at Nederland High School have tested positive for COVID-19, school officials announced Monday.

According to a letter from principal Steven Beagle, the school has been notified of seven positive cases.

It is unclear if those cases involve students, staff or a combination of both.

Parents have been told they will be contacted if their child was deemed in close contact with a positive case.
