NOLA Public Schools Go To Distance Learning

Yesterday NOLA Public Schools officials announced that they will shift K-12 students to distance learning district-wide this week. An announcement said this is being done to protect the health and safety of students, families, and staff and teachers. School leaders were instructed Monday to move all Pre-K-12 classes to distance learning no later than Thursday, Jan. 7, to give parents, guardians, and families some time to adjust their schedules. The school system said NOLA-PS will continue to monitor COVID-19 data and trends and reevaluate this decision no sooner than Jan. 21, in hopes that the local trend in positivity rates and case counts improves.
