As much of the region appears to be experiencing a post-holiday spike in COVID-19 cases, some school districts are announcing a shift to remote learning.
New London Superintendent Cynthia Ritchie on Wednesday announced that schools would shift to remote learning through the end of the month. In a statement to families, she said that over the prior 12 hours the district was informed of a new wave of positive test results.
A total of 17 positive cases have been reported in the district from Monday evening through Wednesday morning. These cases spanned across all schools, Central Office and distance learners, Ritchie said. Central Office staff members are now working remotely as a result.
