NORTH PROVIDENCE – Citing rising COVID-19 cases and growing absences among students and staff, Supt. Joseph Goho announced last Friday that North Providence schools would be moving back to distance learning.
Virtual learning for all students will begin next Monday and will extend through Jan. 8, impacting a total of eight school days. Goho said this was the most prudent decision for the district right now, when COVID-19 rates are at an all-time high in the state.
The announcement came the morning after Gov. Gina Raimondo told superintendents who have decided to go virtual “to look yourself in the mirror and try a little harder because I think the kids deserve better.”
