Teachers at the Eureka Springs School District will have extra time every week to help virtual learning students until the end of the school year.
On Monday night, the Eureka Springs School Board voted to approve early dismissal every Wednesday until the end of the 2020-21 school year. Superintendent Bryan Pruitt explained that teachers requested extra time on Wednesday to work with virtual learning students, saying students who learn on-site would be dismissed at 1:45 p.m. every Wednesday.
That way, our teachers will be online by 2 p.m. and theyll have an hour and a half to work with our virtual students through Zoom, phone calls or email, Pruitt said. Well do that for the spring semester only. I recommend we pass that.
