Local school districts are beginning to close as a result of the growing coronavirus pandemic.

According to a statement on Mainland Regional High School's website, the school districts of Mainland Regional, Chartertech High School, Northfield, Linwood, and Somers Point are all closed from Monday, March 16th, through Monday, March 30th.

The school says,

We will continue to monitor the information available and any details that may require a longer closure than currently planned. We will coordinate with our communities throughout the closure and will provide updates and information specific to the firm date for schools reopening. Please be sure to check with your districts’ websites, social media feeds, and community outreach platforms for additional details.

The message goes on to say, "students and parents have received and will continue to receive more information about individual district plans for instructional continuity and food distribution for eligible families in our food service programs, as mandated by the NJDOE."
