In a letter to the district, Smith said Point Pleasant Boro schools will continue with the district's remote learning plan currently in place.

The district will also continue to await further guidance from the Governor’s Office on procedures to address end-of-the-year events, such as graduation, "in the most socially responsible way."

"We will continue to monitor this situation and, as I assured you in my letter to you last week, no final decisions have been made at this time," he said.

Smith said he will update the district with any plans put in place once more direction is given "and we are able to move forward with a plan in the best interest of the health and safety of students, staff and the Point Pleasant community."
