Asbury Park Schools Going Remote After 5 COVID-19 Cases

ASBURY PARK – The Asbury Park School District has had five confirmed positive cases of COVID-19, all of which were the result of outside activity and not in-school interactions, officials said.

As a result, Asbury Park schools will transition to a full remote-learning environment beginning Wednesday.

Notifying individuals or identifying those who have tested positive for COVID-19 has been handled by the Monmouth County Health Department, officials said.

Notification is not done by the Asbury Park School District.

The schedule will be as follows:

• November 18th- December 11, 2020 – Full Remote
• December 14th – December 23, 2020 – Hybrid (Blue and Bishop Days)
• January 4th – January 15, 2021– Full Remote
• January 19th – Hybrid Schedule (Blue and Bishop Days)

Please note that numbers 2 and 4 are in bold as the return to Hybrid schedule which includes alternating in-person instruction with remote instruction will be based on infection rates and rates of transmission in the city, county and state.

If the rate increase impacts the school community in a way that impacts the ability to ensure health and safety, the district will not return and the remote schedule will be extended.
