If Franklin Regional officials had not made the move to remote instruction the week following Thanksgiving, nearly 60 people with either a positive covid-19 test or a potential exposure would have come back into the senior high school, according to the superintendent.
“During those days, from Nov. 26 through Dec. 6, we had 58 individuals who were quarantined due to close contact or being positive,” Superintendent Jamie Piraino told school board members at a special meeting Thursday.
The school directors voted to once again proactively move to remote instruction during the first school week of the new year, Jan. 4-8.
