OSHKOSH (NBC 26) -- Oshkosh North and Oshkosh West high schools will transition virtual learning on Wednesday, Sept. 23, the school district announced Monday.

In a statement, the Oshkosh Area School District cited extensive community spread of COVID-19 and the resulting rapidly increasing number of high school students and staff required to quarantine. The school district said the high schools are trending upward with new cases of illnesses and quarantines.

Oshkosh North and Oshkosh West high schools are expected to remain in virtual learning for at least two weeks. At this time, all other OASD schools will remain in hybrid learning.

"It is clear that unless community spread of COVID-19 stops, providing in-person instruction is simply not possible," the school district said in a statement.
