Mount Shasta Elementary and Sisson students are headed back to classrooms full time, five days a week – perhaps as early as March 8 – trustees decided in a 3-2 decision Wednesday evening.
The decision allows families to continue distance learning, but the approximately 50 students who currently attend school from home would have to transfer to another teacher. The trustees also opted to hire an additional teacher if necessary, rather than make changes to Sisson's intervention program, which serves students in grades 4-8 with special needs of all kinds.
On Monday, district schools moved to a hybrid model which brings students on campus part time, two or three days a week. But many parents in the community have been pressuring trustees and administrators to open schools more fully, asserting that hybrid learning is not adequate.
