Three Montana School Districts Go Virtual or Close Due to COVID
At least three Montana school districts are taking advantage of a two-day school break for statewide educator conferences this week to hold remote classes or close for a few days to help prevent further cases of COVID-19.
The Darby school district also announced it was switching to remote learning on Tuesday and Wednesday due to staff shortages.
“Unfortunately, Darby School has reached a point where we do not have enough employees to operate the school,” Superintendent Chris Toynbee wrote to families on Monday. “We lack teachers, paraprofessionals and bus drivers and we don’t have enough substitutes to continue to keep our doors open.”
No public school classes will be held statewide on Thursday and Friday due to the annual educator conferences.
