The Brighton Central School District had planned to bring all students in grades six-through-12 back to five-day-a-week classroom instruction on Monday -- but that plan is now on hold.
The district says on its web page that COVID-19 numbers in the district are not decreasing the way they'd hoped. They had been seeing an average drop of more than 27 cases per day among students and staff, but cases began to rise again May 18th and jumped yesterday to 173 cases. The current seven-day average is about 137 cases per day, which they say makes it impossible to bring the students back to classrooms full time under state guidelines.
Brighton schools will continue the present hybrid learning model of part online, part classroom next week. An update is expected Monday.
