Groton The Groton school district will continue full remote learning next week, as 105 teachers and staff and 74 students need to self-isolate or quarantine, according to Superintendent Susan Austin.
The school district had shifted to full remote learning for this week due to a post-holiday uptick in cases, but Austin said the situation has only escalated since then.
She said in a communication Thursday to parents, guardians and staff that the decision to continue remote learning is due both “to the inability to provide appropriate staffing for in-person learning and for the safety of our students and staff.”
Austin said in a phone interview that, with community spread and increases in COVD-19 cases in Groton, the school district also is seeing cases in schools.
