Evanston/Skokie School District 65 administration and healthcare professionals expressed confidence the district could reopen schools safely at a virtual forum Thursday.
The district held the webinar for staff, parents and community members to discuss the logistics of its hybrid learning model, set to launch Feb. 16.
Superintendent Devon Horton said the district will prioritize the health and safety of students and staff and community members as schools reopen. He said while doctors and other healthcare professionals provided the district with advice regarding reopening, the decision to launch hybrid learning came from the school board, administration and himself.
“They were thought partners and gave us the research and the knowledge that we need in order to open our doors,” Horton said.
