Pittsburgh Public Schools has delayed the return to in-school instruction another two months, until April 6.
The district targeted the return to classroom instruction at the end of February.
One after the other, several board members spoke at their meeting Wednesday in support of continuing to teach classes online, though nearly all of them noted that it was a difficult decision and an imperfect solution.
“I want kids to come back to school, I want them back,” said Board President Sylvia Wilson. But without the staff, it’s not possible, she said. “The reality is people are concerned about their health. … We are concerned about the student’s health. We are concerned about the health of their families.”
