PORTLAND - Faced with opposition from the teachers’ union and concerns about the rate of COVID-19 infections in town, the Board of Education rejected a recommendation from Superintendent of Schools Charles E. Britton to return to in-school learning next week.

Britton had recommended that students in kindergarten through sixth grade return to school on Monday.
