CANTON — All student-athletes participating in high-risk sports at Canton Central have agreed to COVID-19 testing for this spring season.

All varsity boys’ lacrosse and wrestlers agreed to volunteer testing.

“We put the threshold out that we were looking for significant increase (in COVID testing), I wanted (at least) 50%,” said CCS Superintendent Ron Burke.

He said the school physician expressed a desire for at least half of students to be tested.

“Kudos to the boys on both those teams … it’s a huge win for us,” he said.

The super said that the district would reach out to the county for the rapid tests and would work on details of how testing would be handled.
