More than two dozen schools in New Jersey have had to suspend in-person learning due to COVID-19 cases. The Wall Township school district was the latest to keep kids at home after an uptick in cases. Long Valley Middle School, part of the Washington Township district, had to close after a 6th grade social on Nov. 19 led to 35 positive cases, and an additional 24 students exposed. It’s a tough situation for kids, parents and educators.

One idea for bringing kids back to the classroom is regular COVID-19 testing.
