CANTON — Canton Central has shifted to remote learning after several members of its transportation department were ordered to quarantine following a positive COVID-19 test among its staff.

“This morning we were notified that a member of our transportation team has tested positive for COVID-19,” CCS officials said in a statement on the district Facebook page. “Contact tracing is now complete.”

As a result of this case and quarantines from yesterday, almost half of the district’s transportation department is now unable to report to work.

“As a result, we will transition to fully remote instruction through next Monday, March 8, 2021. It is anticipated that we will return to in-person instruction on Tuesday, March 9, 2021,” officials aid.
