South Orange-Maplewood School District Superintendent Ronald Taylor announced Monday night that all classes will be held online only on Tuesday, Jan. 26, due to a winter storm expected to bring icy conditions and snow to the region.
In addition, the PSAT that was to be held at Columbia High School is canceled.
Taylor made the announcement at Monday evening’s Board of Education meeting, which was held online for the tenth month in a row amid COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
Various school districts throughout the state were moving to online-only classes on Tuesday, NJ.com reported.
