CCS Goes Remote

Until January 19

COOPERSTOWN – With one positive case and a rising number of “potential close contacts,” Cooperstown schools have gone entirely remote until January 19, according to a phone message sent out to parents across the district.

“This is not a decision we made lightly,” said Interim Superintendent Romona Wenck in a voicemail left for district parents this morning. “But due to the number of potential close contacts and the number of faculty and staff who have to go on quarantine, it’s the best decision for our school and community.”

According to Heidi Bond, Otsego County Public Health Director, there are more than 1,100 people on quarantine in the county.

Quarantined teachers will continue to teach from home until the Christmas break, and then after the start of the new year, until Jan. 19.
