This trend is in the wrong direction to support a reopening based on the current state guidance.The recommendation is to open the school the week of Thanksgiving if the data supports it with Cohort A attending in person on Monday and Cohort B in person attending on Tuesday.
Given the Commonwealth has not been releasing data consistently on Wednesdays the board discussed moving our meetings back to Tuesday evenings.
