Regional schools head back to online Portales High, Melrose, Yucca students temporarily go remote
Last updated 5/8/2021 at 3:06pm SANTA FE — New Mexico's newest update of the “Red to Green” framework shows most of the state is in the vaunted turquoise designation, and they'll stay there until at least June 2. But all is far from well, with Curry and Roosevelt counties reporting 63 new COVID-19 cases and three deaths in the last four days and three local schools returning to remote learning as a result. Portales High School was the latest closure to in-person learning announced Friday, the same day Melrose announced a one-week remote learning period and three days after Clovis Municipal Schools announced a voluntary two-week remote learning period for Yucca Middle School.
