The largest school district in western Massachusetts will hold a virtual town hall about back-to-school plans.
The “when” is decided. School in Springfield will start on September 15 – two weeks later than originally scheduled.
The “how” remains uncertain.
School Committee Vice Chairman Chris Collins said the committee will host a virtual town hall on Tuesday Aug 4th at 6 p.m. to solicit community input.
" It is a very difficult decision and the committee is weighing lots of things and everbody is in their own place," Collins said.
The School Committee is expected to vote on a final back-to-school plan during a meeting scheduled for August 6th.
A survey of parents found preference for a hybrid model where students are in school two days a week and are taught remotely three days a week.
