Coronavirus Madison: New Schools Letter To Families
Madison Public Schools has had since February a dedicated COVID-19 section on its website where families can check for updates.
MADISON, CT — Schools superintendent Thomas Scarice sent a letter to families as a follow-up to the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference's decision to cancel all remaining winter tournament games.
Scarice quoted CIAC Executive Director Glenn Lungarini:
“Due to continuing concerns regarding the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus), the responses from local school districts and third-party venues have greatly varied…Given the wide range of direction local districts are considering, coupled with diminishing availability of neutral facilities, the CIAC needs to take the lead in providing logistical direction to our membership. Therefore, with many questions and unknowns still pending in Connecticut about COVID-19, we have made the decision to cancel our remaining winter championships so that schools can focus their attention on meeting their student's educational needs.”
