Board members for District 205 were given an update on the plan to bring students back for full in-person learning at their February meeting Monday night.
Last month, the board approved a return-to-learn plan that started bringing students back into classrooms to start the month of February. The hybrid approach saw students in classrooms two days a week while remote learning the remainder of the week.
The plan, according to Superintendent Dr. John Asplund, was to get students back into classrooms every day very quickly, citing lowering grades among students. Dr. Asplund told the board that the plan was to start with a hybrid approach and then move forward fully in-person by February 22nd.
