HAMMOND â For the first time in more than a year, Hammond students are set to return to the classroom.Â
During a meeting Tuesday, the Hammond school board voted 4-0, with one abstention, to approve an early April return to in-person instruction.Â
The district's return comes on the heels of students in the Gary Community School Corp. and the School City of East Chicago returning to classrooms on Feb. 22 and March 8, respectively.Â
The School City of Hammond is one of the last districts in the Northwest Indiana to return to in-person learning.
