The Dallas school district wants every senior back in class, every day, for in-person learning, till the end of the year beginning Monday. Too many kids have been missing out on instruction.
With just nine weeks of school left in Dallas, the district’s Deputy Chief of School Leadership, Mark Ramirez, fears if nothing changes, too many kids won’t graduate. He said in the pandemic, many seniors suffered by learning online. The district says one out of every five high schoolers stopped attending class. Ramirez wants them back, learning face-to-face.
“We know it’s going to be a challenge,” Ramirez said, “because they’ve been out of school a year and a half. And that’s why we want them back to try to get that (graduation) number as close to where we were in the past, which is getting close to 88% from the district.”
