Outgoing state Education Commissioner Miguel Cardona has passed along new guidance to school superintendents about the length of quarantine time required for teachers and staff who are exposed to COVID-19.  The change from 14 days down to 10 days is in response to updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  Bethel, Brookfield and Newtown are among the districts that plan to adopt the new guidance, based on consultations with local health departments.  The Easton, Redding and Region 9 district however is keeping the longer, 14 day quarantine requirement.
