Remote or in-person learning? Here is what Sussex County school district are doing
New Jersey Herald
Most Sussex County public schools switched to fully remote learning schedules just before Thanksgiving and expected to reopen in mid-January.
Due to an increase in COVID-19 cases, the plan has changed for some districts that have opted to extend the remote instruction.
The Newton school district announced Friday that it will remain fully remote through at least next week after originally planning to resume in-person learning Tuesday.
The district was one of several in the county, including Sparta and Vernon, that decided in November to continue their virtual plan until two weeks after the regularly scheduled winter break.
