Slippery Rock Area School District's move to virtual learning Thursday due to COVID-19 will continue through next week, as Karns City Area School District returns to in-school classes.

“In our district, we currently have positive cases in all four of our buildings, and we're seeing a large number of students who need to quarantine,” said Susan Miller, Slippery Rock assistant superintendent.

Slippery Rock's move to virtual affects all grades, kindergarten through 12th. Miller said the many students and staff quarantining, which was a big factor in the decision.

“We're seeing more positive cases of kids who didn't have symptoms, and that's concerning,” she said.

Miller said the students have moved to its Google Classrooms virtual platform until at least Thursday. On Wednesday, teachers have an Act-80 in-service day.

“Our teachers have done a great job in getting lessons out there,” Miller said. “We also distributed technology out there for people who needed it.”

Miller said the administration will reassess the situation Monday based on county and districtwide COVID-19 data.
