Police Charge Parents, Teen After Party Delayed School: Patch PM

SUDBURY, MA — Welcome to the beginning of the work week, which is also the first full week of classes after students began returning last week. It's also the first day for some districts, including Marlborough and Boston.

In several local school districts, large parties thrown by students have forced classes to go online due to a heightened coronavirus risk. One party forced Lincoln-Sudbury to go fully remote for the first two weeks of classes. Now, police are charging the parents and the teen, Sudbury Chief Scott Nix confirmed to Patch on Monday.

Similar parties in Reading and Dover-Sherborn have forced schools to delay the start of in-person learning.
