A pilot program that provides remote learning shelters for the children of local first responders and essential workers is set to expire Thursday, but its creators hope to build on its successes and extend the program long-term.
The Fair Care Learning Shelter Pilot Program a community collaboration between Pueblo School District 70, Pueblo School District 60 and the Boys & Girls Club of Pueblo County features seven sites across town where essential workers can leave their children under the care of substitute teachers who supervise and assist them with remote learning.
“If you’re an essential worker, or if you’re a first responder, you don’t have that luxury to actually stay at home with your children,” said project consultant Gregory Howell, who spearheaded the effort with D70 government and community affairs coordinator Roxanne Pignanelli.
