TWIN FALLS, Idaho — While omicron COVID-19 cases continue to surge across the state, schools in the Magic Valley are feeling the impact.
One issue schools face is determining whether or not they have the necessary resources to keep their classroom doors open. On Jan. 20, the Twin Falls and Gooding School Districts announced they would close on Friday, Jan. 21 due to staffing shortages.
