Montgomery County, which has reported 21,355 cases since the pandemic began, on Wednesday was moved to alert level 4, or purple, on the color-coded Ohio Public Health Advisory System.
“While it is difficult to predict what Montgomery County’s alert level will be over the coming weeks, we do want to provide some semblance of consistency with our families and staff, so we are going to continue with full-remote learning through Dec. 18,” Inskeep wrote.
Inskeep on Nov. 20 warned staff and families that the district would switch to distance learning should the county reach the level 4 alert status.
He said that Monday will look similar to the district’s first-quarter remote learning.
“As I have said numerous times over the past several months, we want our students in our buildings, learning in their classrooms. However, as we are in the midst of a public emergency in Montgomery County, I feel that it is in the best interest of the health and safety of our students, staff and families to move to remote learning,” Inskeep said.
The district will continue to monitor the county’s alert level through December.
“If we can all do our part to mask up, wash up and socially distance, we may be able to return to in-person learning after our winter break,” Inskeep wrote.
