SHAWANO (NBC 26) -- The Shawano School District will switch to virtual learning starting next week. Superintendent Randi Anderson made the announcement Wednesday.
On Monday, September 28, there will be no school. The superintendent says this will provide an opportunity for school staff to transition over to a 100% virtual environment beginning Tuesday.
Superintendent Anderson said the district expects to be in virtual learning for about two weeks, with the hopes to "reset and recover" and resume face-to-face instruction by mid-October.
The Shawano School district is not the first to go virtual. As COVID cases continue to rise in northeast Wisconsin, schools in Menasha to Oshkosh have had to temporarily switch to virtual learning. Some school districts, including Green Bay, have been virtual teaching students exclusively since the beginning of the school year.
