Topeka Unified School District 501 will return to remote learning following a surge in COVID-19 cases in the community, district officials announced Thursday afternoon. Students will remain in remote learning through the Thanksgiving holiday, officials announced, since high rates of positive COVID-19 cases in both the district and at-large community have affected USD 501’s ability to safely teach students. The transition to remote learning comes after a second consecutive week of uncontrolled community spread of the virus, as measured by the Shawnee County Health Department’s weekly COVID-19 scorecard. USD 501 schools are not in session Thursday or Friday for parent teacher conferences.
