School Committee member Ann Guay offered a creative way at last Tuesday’s board meeting to get more Middle and High School students back into their buildings.
Her idea: a pilot program that would continue the remote portion of the hybrid model, but in the schoolhouses instead of at home.
“Some students are really struggling learning remotely at home, for a variety of reasons,” Guay said. “I want to propose that we think about a pilot program,” if the space is available.
Learning remotely in the buildings would provide a more familiar structure, and provide opportunities for students to interact with friends and teachers during breaks or lunch. If the pilot is successful, it could be considered for the elementary schools, she said.
Superintendent of Schools Philip Conrad said he would investigate the possibility of implementation.
