FAIRBURY An update on remote and in-person learning was given to members of the Prairie Central Board of Education during the group’s regular December meeting Thursday night.
Superintendent Paula Crane reminded the board that students are on remote learning one week before and after the scheduled holiday break, when the situation will be re-evaluated. Crane said the hope was to keep students healthy so they wouldn’t have to miss their own Christmas celebrations.
There was no big uptick in COVID-19 cases following Thanksgiving, which many had expected. Crane suggested this was due to individuals being more careful or maybe not gathering quite as much.
