Suburban Chicago district shifts to remote learning over mask protest

Fremont School District 79 officials say potential demonstrations may interfere with educating students.

Fremont School District 79 will switch to remote learning beginning Monday, Feb. 14, after planned protests and demonstrations prompted the decision.

In a letter to parents, students and staff, district officials announced an adaptive pause would remain in effect until further notice in anticipation of protests that would “confront and/or interact directly with students.”

Schools officials said the decision to revert to virtual learning is due to potential demonstrations harming the district’s ability to educate students.
