Mount Gilead Schools opt for four day a week in-person instruction
By Alberta Stojkovic - The Sentinel
MOUNT GILEAD The Mount Gilead School Board heard comments concerning in-person learning from parents, teachers and administrators at their Jan. 19 meeting.
The District is presently in “hybrid” learning with children attending school 2 days per week with Wednesdays used for teacher planning.
Superintendent Larry Zimmerman said he has gotten calls from parents who prefer to remain hybrid as well as those who want to return to in-person learning.
Parents spoke at the meeting who are very concerned their children are falling behind in their studies. They feel they are failing as teachers and it is causing distress for them and their children not to have more classroom instruction.
