Another school has been forced to go remote after news of a large gathering came to light. This time, it’s Austin Prep in Reading. Austin Prep Head of School James Hickey sent a letter home to all of the families informing them of the decision adding “Unfortunately, like other secondary schools in Massachusetts which encountered similar activity this past weekend, we too are now impacted by poor decisions that students are making during a public health crisis.” “The individuals who made these irresponsible decisions, regrettably have halted the progress we have been making as a community to return to campus and resume in-person instruction that students and staff have overwhelmingly embraced.” In-person classes are scheduled to resume Sept. 29 under the school’s hybrid learning model. Remote learning for all students began on Tuesday.
