Brookfield Schools Will No Longer Offer Remote Learning

BROOKFIELD, CT — The Board of Education voted to discontinue offering remote learning opportunities for students for the 2021-2022 school year.

The unanimous vote came during a regularly scheduled meeting of the BOE on Wednesday.

Remote learning was an option for students throughout the 2020-21 school year, due to the coronavirus pandemic. Regardless of whether a school district was officially offering the in-person or hybrid attendance model, the state mandated schools also offer parents a remote learning option. New guidance from the state releases schools from that obligation for the coming school year.

In an email to parents, Superintendent John Barile said that "the District will be sure to take any emergent steps necessary relating to remote student programming associated with the COVID-19 pandemic or other emergencies."
