New Orleans Public Schools To Return To Remote Learning

New Orleans Public Schools students are preparing to leave their classrooms later this week and return to distance learning.

Officials said yesterday that students would move to a remote learning model no later than January 7 and remain there until at least January 21.

Supt. Dr. Henderson Lewis said the transition out of the classrooms was made because of a jump in positive cases of COVID-19 over the past several days, which indicate a worsening trend.
