MONTAGUE In-person classes in the Gill-Montague Regional School District have been ruled out at least through the end of 2020, due to a recent spike in local rates of COVID-19.
In an email sent over the weekend to school families and staff members, Superintendent Brian Beck said the schools will not consider transitioning students to in-person classes before the holiday break. He cited increased rates of COVID-19 in Montague, which the state Department of Public Health recently labeled a “red” zone the most severe designation the department assigns in its pandemic tracking.
