Three Rivers Middle and High schools going to virtual learning with many staff out sick

THREE RIVERS, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Students at Three Rivers High School and Middle School will begin learning remotely beginning Tuesday. School officials say too many staff members are out sick to continue in-person learning.

Some had tested positive for COVID-19 and others are waiting for their test results or had unrelated illnesses. They tried to fill vacancies with substitute teachers but were not able to find enough of them to cover.

The virtual learning is expected to last through at least the end of this week.
