The plan for hybrid learning for the Erie School District s 4,900 elementary school students is finally going into action.
The district on Feb. 1 intends to launch the plan, which will bring the pre-K-5 students back to school for in-person classes one week and online-only classes the next. Families can also choose to keep students in online-only classes.
Online-only classes have been the Erie School District s mode of instruction for most students so far this school year due to the pandemic.
As part of its state-required health and safety plan, the Erie School District months ago developed the hybrid plan, designed to limit the number of students in a building at one time to curb the spread of COVID-19. But the district has kept the plan on hold as coronavirus cases have risen in Erie County.
