On Mar. 8, the Lansing Board of Education discussed the gradual reopening of schools and how to improve the virtual and hybrid learning experiences for students.Â
Superintendent of Schools, Chris Pettograsso began with a discussion of the current CDC guidelines and the possibilities for loosening restrictions after April break.
âI donât think we could have asked for anymore adherence to the guidelines that we put out, so because of that we are looking at reopening slightly, taking what we call baby steps to getting to a full-reopening,â Pettograsso said.
One of these first steps included letting a certain number of spectators watch school sports, a new guideline Pettograsso said was sent to her today. This falls in line with the Groton school district guidelines from last week, which discussed the probability of allowing two spectators per athlete for indoor and outdoor sports.
