CLARIFICATION

NANTICOKE &mdash; Greater Nanticoke Area School district has pushed the first day of school to Tuesday, the day after Labor Day, due to an ongoing boil advisory following a water main break Monday.
				Superintendent Ronald Grevera initially hoped the problem would be resolved enough to open Thursday, three days later than planned, but said via email Wednesday night that the boil advisory prompted the decision to keep schools closed for the rest of this week and open Sept. 8.
				The district planned to start classes this past Monday using a hybrid system that breaks the students into two groups, with Group A attending in-person classes Mondays and Tuesdays while Group B attends live but online at home. On Wednesdays all students are to learn at home, and on Thursdays and Fridays Group B is to attend classes in person while Group A learns online at home.
				The water main break forced the district to remain closed Monday, and though it was repaired quickly the lines had to be flushed and a boil advisory was issued.
