WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, NJ A school district in Camden County has moved to remote learning after a foodborne illness impacted nearly 60 percent of the staff, the district announced this week. A report said as many as 100 teachers and staff got sick.
The Waterford Township Public School District has shut down until May 24 after staff from the district became sick following a luncheon on May 6, Waterford Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brenda Harring announced.
The district switched to an asynchronous mode of remote-learning, Harring said. Nearly 100 teachers and staff members have been infected, News 12 reports. Parents whose children need computers were told they could pick them up on Wednesday.
