The J.O. Combs Unified School District canceled all its classes, including virtual lessons, after many teachers said they would not return to classrooms citing coronavirus concerns.
"Due to these insufficient staffing levels, schools will not be able to reopen on Monday as planned," Wyman said in the letter.
Wyman also told parents that he was unsure when classes would resume because the district could not predict how long the absences would last. "Please know that we are acutely aware of how polarizing this issue is, and how challenging these ongoing developments are for our entire community," Wyman's letter said.
The question of whether to reopen schools for in-person education has become a political flashpoint across the country as parents, teachers, and school districts attempt to balance the safety of reopening with other priorities. Teachers in New York City have also threatened to protest with a sickout if the city decides to reopen for in-person classes.
