DARIEN, IL Many Hinsdale High School District 86 students keep their cameras off when they are attending class remotely, an official said last week. This is something that many parents apparently did not realize.
Next semester, the district plans to change its Zoom protocols for Central and South students. They will be required to keep their camera on during class, unless they get waivers, said Christopher Covino, assistant superintendent for academics.
As it stands, only a quarter of students are allowed on campus at a time for in-person classes because of the pandemic. So teachers deal mostly with students who are learning remotely.
