School officials to seek waiver from state's increased requirements for hybrid learning

School officials are pushing back against new state minimums for live instruction, claiming they would be counterproductive to the interests of local students.
The new standards, adopted by the state Board of Education on Dec. 15 and slated to take effect Jan. 19, call for 35 hours of live instruction, averaged over a 10-day period, for school districts utilizing a hybrid approach, and 40 hours for those with full-remote learning.
Foxboro’s hybrid learning program now provides 30 hours of live instruction at the elementary level and 32 hours for middle and high school students, according to Superintendent Amy Berdos.
“I will share with you that there is incredible frustration… based on this information coming out in the last week and now having to come up with a plan in order to meet the new requirements,” Berdos told school committee members last week.
