The Newark School District, the state's largest school district,
announced Monday night it will be staying remote until at least late January.
The school district had
originally planned to introduce a hybrid schedule later this year, but now
students will continue to learn virtually until, at least, Jan. 25.
In a post on
Facebook, Board
of Education President Josephine Garcia says, in part, “We, the Board of
Education, will always prioritize the health and safety of our students, staff
and community."
Newark has more than 35,000
students across 66 schools.
