Re-Opening Planning
- Guidance from the State
- How to interpret public health information for regional schools is not available yet
- School Community
- Concern about the return to school has been growing among families and staff over the past week
- Media reports across the country on schools opening and closing is impacting the community
- Media reports of increased infection rates in children is also impacting the community
- We have seen a dramatic increase in families opting for virtual learning for the fall
- Concern about the return to school has been growing among families and staff over the past week
Matthew Yezukevich made a motion to begin the school year with all students virtually with the exceptions of students outlined by the special education department. A phase roll in of the hybrid learning could begin on 19OCT2020 for families choosing to return to campus if the public health metrics support the return to campus.
Susanna Girard seconded the motion.
The board VOTED to approve the motion.
