While the district does not have a specific percentage or number of sick outs to shut down, they said it comes down to if they have enough teachers and staff to stay open.
The district cited “staffing challenges” related to the recent COVID spike due to the omicron variant, the district said in a statement. So far, at least 91 schools in total will be remote for this week. There will be daily updates on new in-person closures scheduled for 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. An update at 6 a.m. will be added if needed.“We are going to be sending out communication to families at 6 in the morning if we have reviewed data overnight that shows that a school might need to go into a remote learning option,” Lewis said.
