HOPE — Families from the Flat Rock-Hawcreek School Corp. should expect an announcement Friday on whether or not eLearning will continue after Thanksgiving break.
According to superintendent Shawn Price, an internal email will be sent to staff and families will also be notified. He added that the announcement would likely also be posted on the schools’ social media pages.
The school corp. began eLearning on Tuesday, with Monday off as a day of preparation. Parents were notified of the move last week.
Price said that factors in this decision included issues with staffing classrooms and the growing number of close contacts having to quarantine.
“Just over the course of last week that kind of made our decision, at the high school level we had roughly or approximately about 100 people that had been, just in that week, quarantined as close contacts,” he said.
On its website, the school corporation reported 21 confirmed positive COVID-19 cases for the week ending Nov. 13. This includes 16 cases from Hauser Jr./Sr. High School and five from Hope Elementary.
