DANBURY With coronavirus cases declining and the vaccine on the horizon for an increased number of people, the school district is exploring expansion of in-person learning.
It’s unlikely that all Danbury students will return to the buildings five days a week anytime soon, Superintendent Sal Pascarella said.
“I don t think we can have a pure system, not with the growth we have in Danbury,” he said. “There will probably be some mixing and matching, a creative solution.”
COVID cases are down and vaccine distribution is ramping up. Maybe it s time to get the kids back into the classroom.
According to the Newstimes, school Superintendent Sal Pascarella says don t count on the kids being back in the classroom five days a week anytime soon.
School officials are discussing several different scenarios to get students back to in-school learning gradually. It s already been decided that next week, special education students that require more in-person instruction will be in the classroom four days a week.

The target date for special education students in grades 6 through 12 for in-school learning four days a week is scheduled for March 8. Reworking the hybrid model is also being discussed by Danbury school officials. One of the options is making Wednesday, which is a distance-learning day, an in-school day instead.
