Distance learning or absence from several schools

Weather - Distance learning or absence from several schools

Following the heavy snowfall on Saturday, schools in two Upper Bavarian districts and in Augsburg will remain closed or only offer distance learning on Monday.

For the public schools in the district of Mühldorf am Inn, the local state education authority ordered distance learning on Monday. The decision was made to protect pupils in view of the wintry road conditions, it said.

In the district of Starnberg, classes for grades 1 to 6 at primary and secondary schools have been canceled completely, a spokesperson for the district office said on Sunday. However, emergency care will be provided at the schools. Secondary schools such as Realschulen and Gymnasien can decide individually whether to offer distance learning or cancel classes. There will be no supervision at the schools.

In the city of Augsburg, 20 schools, including primary and secondary schools as well as grammar schools, are temporarily closed in whole or in part, as the city administration announced on Sunday. The reason for this is the masses of snow on the roofs of the buildings. Once the snow has melted, the buildings will have to be checked for structural stability. Parents are asked to contact their children's schools to find out about the current situation.
