A Central New York school district is going fully remote after "extensive community exposures" to Covid-19 over the weekend. School officials said all Whitesboro Central School District students will have at-home learning Tuesday to allow the Oneida County Health Department time to investigate and conduct contact tracing. BOCES students in half-day programs also won't have in-person learning, but students who are enrolled in out-of-district programs can still attend as scheduled. New York State testing for grades 3-8 originally scheduled for Tuesday will begin on Wednesday. Students involved in sports or extracurricular activities will be contacted separately regarding any changes in scheduling. According to WKTV, Oneida County officials said the coronavirus exposure involved "dance activity." No further details have been disclosed. "Individual notifications regarding the need to quarantine or self-monitor are ongoing at this time; please monitor your voicemail and/or email for additional communication from the District," Whitesboro CSD said in a notice. "If you are contacted regarding a quarantine period for your child, they must not report to school until the return date provided by the school nurse and/or Oneida County Health Department."
