Sarah Freedman, Correspondent
DOVER The Dover-Sherborn Regional Schools are looking at how to return to full-time learning; however, not all members of the community agreed on the way to accomplish this goal and the timeline involved.
At the March 3 Regional School Committee meeting, Superintendent Andrew Keough outlined the proposed plan for the district to go to a four-day, in-person school week and transition from the hybrid model. The start date for this was April 5, a two-week push from his original proposal.
This was an effort on his part to “find a middle ground” amid differing opinions in the district.
Dover-Sherborn schools explores pool testing for coronavirus

DOVER At the Feb. 3 Dover-Sherborn Regional School Committee meeting, Superintendent Andrew Keough addressed potential COVID-19 pool testing in the district. He said they are gathering details about what the state’s expectations are regarding participation rates.
He added, “We want to proceed a little further by putting out a consent form. That’s really where we would have more of an official count, and we would know whether we’re in the range.”
Committee Chairwoman Maggie Charron said she has heard concerns that increased knowledge of infections would cause students to be in school less, yet others have concerns not doing the pool testing would be a roadblock to being able to have more in-person learning in the middle and high school.
