Webbers Falls schools switch to distance learning amid illness outbreak

Webbers Falls Public School has transitioned to distance learning for the remainder of the week due to an outbreak of flu and strep throat on campus.

District officials reported that 107 students and nine staff members were absent as of Wednesday.

Students are required to check in to their classes daily, even if they are ill, to avoid being marked absent, according to school leaders.

The district aims to resume in-person learning on Monday.
