Staff shortages caused by increasing numbers of COVID-19 cases have prompted four more Pittsburgh Public Schools to transition to virtual learning on Wednesday. Twenty school buildings will be closed Wednesday. Of those, 14 buildings — including some that district officials had previously to close for just one day — are slated to reopen on Jan. 10.
The Sterrett 6-8 school building, which was closed on Tuesday, will reopen on Wednesday.
Grab and Go meal service will be available to students from 9 AM to 12 PM in each school’s cafeteria.
