Monomoy Regional School District officials announced Monday students in grades 7 through 12 will switch fully to remote learning for the near future due to several cases of COVID-19 among the school community. There are two cases at Monomoy Regional Middle School and two cases at Monomoy Regional High School, with a third pending, Joy Jordan, district community engagement coordinator, said in a statement Monday. While the spread does not appear to have happened at school, there are now too many cases at our high school to have sufficient staffing to operate in person, Monomoy Regional School Superintendent Scott Carpenter said in the statement.
COVID high-risk communities in Mass. had a mix of in-person and remote school models

Most schools in Massachusetts have been maintaining some form of in-person learning for students this fall, but some districts are making temporary changes as coronavirus cases surge.
Education officials have stressed that in-school spread of coronavirus is low, but there is transmission in classrooms. In Framingham, students are learning remotely until next month after Superintendent Robert Tremblay reported instances of in-schools transmission of the virus, as well as reports of parents sending symptomatic children to class.
With 158 Massachusetts communities now considered at high risk for spreading COVID-19 - up from 97 the previous week - some districts have decided to switch to remote education through the holidays.
