46 Philadelphia schools to move to remote learning due to omicron, winter storm

The omicron variant and a heavy winter storm have temporarily reduced staffing in Philadelphia public schools, leading more than 40 to switch to remote learning starting Monday.

At least 46 public schools in the Philadelphia School District will be "100%" remote from Jan. 10 to Jan. 14, the superintendent of Philadelphia's school district, William Hite, said in a statement released on Friday.

Hite explained that the city had seen an "incredibly challenging first week back to school" due to severe "staffing challenges" caused by the omicron variant and the winter storm that hit the mid-Atlantic region this week.
