10h agoThe Waterford School District
in Camden County is shifting to remote learning for the next three weeks
because more than 60% of teachers are out sick following a staff appreciation
luncheon.
The catered staff appreciation luncheon happened last Thursday, and
ended with nearly 100 teachers and staff members sick.
All teachers are showing signs of a foodborne
illness.
The school had to go remote because it couldn't adequately staff the
building.
The meal was catered by a
restaurant that has since been closed for cleaning.
"The establishment
voluntarily closed so that
we could investigate perhaps what went wrong here," says Caryelle Lasher, of the
Camden County Health Department.
While the school buildings are closed, the facilities will undergo a
deep cleaning to make sure everything is safe when students return later this
month.
