A school district in Vermont's Orange County is concerned about families not complying with quarantine rules after a cluster of COVID-19.

Virus cases turned up in the district that serves Randolph, Braintree and Brookfield.

WCAX-TV reports the Orange Southwest School District has moved to remote learning but is encountering apathy from some people contacted during contact tracing. Superintendent Layne Millington estimates that about a third of the families that were called discounted concerns about possible exposure or exposing others to the virus that causes COVID-19.

Gov. Phil Scott says the state can impose penalties for people unwilling to comply with contact tracing requirements but he’s reluctant to do that.
