The local health board is unable to test and isolate the students who attended the party as many ran away or gave the police false names.
A Massachusetts school has delayed resuming in-person teaching after police broke up a party of 50 to 60 students on Friday night. Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School in Sudbury will now switch to remote learning until September 29.
The decision to switch to remote learning came because many students ran away from the police or gave fake names. If the students had given their names to the police the school would have been able to request that these students get tested for coronavirus and isolate themselves.
In a letter to parents, Bella Wong, principal of Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School, said:"I agree completely with the Board of Health that this is the most prudent course of action to take given what has taken place. "After the intensity of hard work and planning that has been done to be able to start school with students in-person we are profoundly disappointed at this sudden change of plans. I know you must be as disappointed."
Mary Lussier, a parent of a student at Lincoln-Sudbury, told CBS Boston:"It's just unfortunate because everyone else pays the price. You can't take chances and there are consequences."
