NORTH ADAMS â North Adams Public Schools will change its process for switching between hybrid and remote learning, after positivity rate calculations kept students remote for an extra week â even as regional virus levels were falling.
The previous agreement between the district and the North Adams Teachers Association had set a threshold of 3 percent for regional positivity rates, above which schools were required to operate remotely.
When it calculated that metric, the district weighed higher positivity rates in small towns the same as lower positivity rates in much larger municipalities.
That means the districtâs metric remained above the threshold in early February, keeping students remote at a time when the regionâs average positivity rate â if weighted to account for the total number of tests in each community â was actually below the 3-percent mark.
