(La Porte County, IN) - The school systems across La Porte County are all handeling the county's "Orange" COVID-19 status differently. 

 

Late last week, a day after deciding to stick to its "Hybrid" plan, Michigan City Schools backtracked and announced 100% virtual learning, which went into effect today.  That will continue into January.  A shortage of available teachers has been cited as a leading factor.

 

Westville Schools went virtual last week, for similiar reasons. 

 

New Prairie made the decision to move its Middle and High School to online only, beginning today.  However, the districts elementary schools will remain at 50% attendance and will continue to monitor the situation on a weekly basis.  New Prairie will hold a public meeting tonight to get feedback from parents regarding winter extra ciricular activities.

 

La Porte Schools is sticking with their hybrid attendance plan for this week, and South Central remains at 100% in-person attendance.
