BETHEL Monday, board members voted 8-6 against shifting to remote learning for two weeks following Christmas Vacation in order to keep the student body safer.
School Nurse Chris Cole made the suggestion of going remote for two weeks, with her main reason being the upcoming Christmas and New Year’s get-togethers, which she believes will happen despite public health officials advising against them.
Members Marcy Winslow (Woodstock), Jamie Hastings (Bethel), Stephanie Erickson (Newry), Erin Cooley (Greenwood), Danny Whitney (Bethel), Wendy Coffin (Woodstock), Tammy Goodwin (Greenwood) and Meredith Harrop (Newry) voted against the motion, while members Sarah DeCato (Bethel), Carol Everett (Bethel), Maggie Davis (Bethel), Stephanie Herbeck (Bethel), Martha McLean (Greenwood) and Sheryl Morgan (Woodstock) were in favor.
