Logan Municipal Schools on Saturday became the fourth school district in Quay County to have in-person classes disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.
The district stated in a text message Saturday afternoon to parents and students that Logan schools will go entirely to online classes starting Monday through Dec. 18 “due to a COVID case on campus.”
The Tucumcari, San Jon and House school districts in the county late last month converted from a hybrid model of teaching to all-online learnin because of rising COVID-19 cases in the region or coronavirus cases reported within the district itself.
The Logan district stated details about distributing learning devices to students from kindergarten through fifth grades would be announced soon.
Logan students eligible for free or reduced-price meals during the remote-learning period can pick them up from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. daily at the district’s west cafeteria doors.
Logan school board members during a special meeting Nov. 30 discussed the possibility of going entirely to online classes, citing a possible higher risk of virus transmission during the Thanksgiving and upcoming Christmas and New Year’s holidays.
Board members declined such action, voicing a preference to keep children in in-person teaching for as long as possible. The board likely will revisit the issue during its next scheduled meeting Dec. 14.
