FITCHBURG, MASS. (WHDH) - Fitchburg Public Schools have postponed hybrid learning following a COVID-19 outbreak at a local church.

Hybrid learning was slated to begin on Nov. 2 but it has since been pushed back to Nov. 9, Superintendent Robert Jokela wrote in a letter to the community.

Classes will stay remote with the same teacher assignments.

Children who are already receiving in-person services will continue to do so unless otherwise notified.

Friday will now be a full day of school.

This comes after Public Health Director Stephen D. Curry reported 28 confirmed cases linked to Crossroads Church services.
