Medford schools will not hold classes on April 3 due to a significant staffing shortage. Superintendent Suzanne Galusi announced the closure after many staff members reported absences for various reasons, including religious observances. Afterschool activities are canceled, but district offices will remain open. The school year schedule will be adjusted to make up for the missed day, with full school days on June 22 and 23. School vacation is still planned for the week of April 20.
