Some Millville Public Schools Switch To Early Dismissal Schedule Due To Staffing Shortages
MILLVILLE, N.J. (CBS) -- The Millville Public School system is implementing early dismissals for some of their secondary schools due to staffing shortages. The new schedule goes into effect Monday.
These changes impact Lakeside Middle School, Memorial High School, and Millville Senior High.
In a letter sent Jan. 25, the district said it spend five months looking at staffing numbers and discovered "instruction at the secondary level has been severely impacted due to students' lack of access to direct instruction on a daily basis."
"Beginning Monday, January 31st, 2022 our secondary schools (Lakeside Middle School, Memorial High School, and Senior High School) will be moving to an Early Dismissal Schedule until February 25, 2022," the letter said.
The school system said the new schedule will utilize the current employees to emphasize consistency.
This arrangement will last until Feb. 25.
