Crestwood students with special needs would return to classes in February, followed by elementary students in March and junior and senior high school students in April, according to a plan that Superintendent Bob Mehalick outlined Thursday.
âThe ultimate goal here is to keep everyone safe . to bring back our students in the most consistent manner,â Mehalick said during a school board meeting.
Beginning Feb. 8, elementary students in autistic support and life skills classes would be the first to return to classes in person in Crestwood, where everyone has been studying from home since December because of the pandemic.
Most of their teachers will have vaccinations against COVID-19 by then, which will, âI believe, give everyone a layer of confidence,â said Mehalick, adding some teachers have been vaccinated already.
