Over a thousand students were impacted as two schools in Alabama and Tennessee were recently forced to temporarily close due to a surge in COVID-19 cases.
According to The Daily Mail, two school facilities were closed in Alabama and Tennessee, forcing students and staff members to temporarily transition to remote learning. Officials reported that a surge in COVID-19 cases had forced them to temporarily close for a “deep clean” just days after the start of the new school year.
The Daily Mail noted that the school closures, which were both in Republican-led states, were implemented despite multiple studies showing that remote teaching has a negative affect on students’ learning, social interactions, and natural immunity.
According to The Daily Mail, Johnson-Abernathy-Graetz High School, which is located in Montgomery, Alabama, was forced to transition to remote learning just four days after the start of school. The school, which has 1,500 students, closed on August 14 and 15 for deep cleaning after 15 teachers contracted COVID-19. After the school re-opened, masks and disinfectant wipes were placed in each classroom; however, masks were not made made mandatory.
