What is the current status of in-person learning?
This pause will allow the district to evaluate the COVID-19 impact of the current small group preschool and kindergarten learning before considering an expansion.
When will in-person learning expand?
Contingent on local case numbers and public health officials' guidance—and consistent with existing guidance from the Department of Health—these are the earliest dates that more students could begin small group in-person learning:
- Jan. 7: Students most in need of support
- Feb. 1: First grade
- Feb. 22: Second grade
Searching for the next superintendent
What should the school board look for in candidates for the next superintendent?
The survey is open until Friday, Dec. 18.
