Nearly every public school in Massachusetts is offering full-time, in-person learning for students as the second school year shaded by the coronavirus pandemic winds down, Elementary and Secondary Education Commissioner Jeff Riley said Tuesday.
More kids are getting used to being back in the classroom with COVID-19 restrictions, and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education on Tuesday released its Academic Excellence Roadmap as it looks ahead to summer and fall.
Meanwhile, parents and advocacy organizations Tuesday pressed the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to ease masking requirements and to take a wider view of student wellness. All elementary and middle schools in Massachusetts now are offering full-time, in-person learning, Riley said, and 99 percent of high schools met his deadline of May 17 to also offer full-time, in-person education.
