The school committee vote 9-0 to make the change from the current hybrid model on Thursday.
Remote learning is scheduled to last at least two weeks, but could go into February if the committee deems it necessary.
School superintendent David Sawyer recommended the temporary measure due to concerns about being able to staff the schools and the increase of coronavirus cases that occurred in the community and among the school population after Thanksgiving, according to a summary of the meeting sent to The Sun Chronicle Friday afternoon.
Committee Chairman Steve Withers summed up the reasons for the vote.
âWe have a responsibility to provide the most beneficial, stable, and reliable learning environment to our students,â he said in an email.
