Water main break forces New Jersey middle school to go hybrid
A water main break at a middle school in Camden County is forcing students to move to a hybrid schedule just a month into the school year.
WINSLOW TWP, N.J. - A Camden County middle school is anticipating a month of hybrid learning after a water main break flooded the school building just weeks into the academic year.
What we know:
Students at Winslow Township Middle School will learn virtually on Thursday as the school building continues to clean up from a devastating water main break.
School officials have not said what caused the pipe to burst last week, what the extent of the damage is, or how long they believe it will take to clean up the mess.
Fans and dehumidifiers were on full blast inside the affected parts of the empty school building on Tuesday.
FOX 29's Hank Flynn said there are large parts of the school building that were not impacted by the water main break.
What they're saying:
Winslow Township School District Superintendent Mark Pease said they "anticipate" having a modified schedule for at least 30 days.
"This will be an adjustment for all of us, but I am confident that with everyone's support we can overcome this challenge," Pease said.
The hybrid learning schedule will alternate groups of students each day. Students will be informed which group they are in.
