WEST NEWBURY â After reviewing COVID-19 numbers and discussing options at an emergency meeting Tuesday afternoon, the Pentucket Regional School Committee voted to remain in a hybrid learning model.
During the 90-minute meeting, Superintendent Justin Bartholomew shared information he learned on Monday, saying the timing of the meeting was important because if there is going to be a change, if the School Committee wants to make a change, we want to make sure families have adequate time in order to make that adjustment.
During the two-week period of Thanksgiving, the towns of Groveland, Merrimac and West Newbury had a combined 52 active COVID-19 cases. Over the past 14 days, Bartholomew said the three towns had a combined 136 active cases.
