The Little Egg Harbor School District has already battled COVID-19 in 2021, and it may have to battle even harder in the coming weeks.

District Superintendent of Schools Melissa McCooly said the district’s George J. Mitchell School had to go to an all-virtual schedule from Jan. 29 through Feb. 11 due to an outbreak of COVID cases among staff and students. The Frog Pond Elementary School went all remote from Jan. 12 to Jan. 25 due to COVID positive cases and exposed cases.
