The Board decided to extend the break in the hopes of lessening the spread of COVID-19.
Under the proposal, students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade will return to class in the hybrid model on Jan. 11 instead of Jan. 4. Hutchinson High School students will return to class remotely on Jan. 11 for two weeks before returning to the hybrid model on Jan. 25. The Hutchinson Career and Technical Education Academy will return on Jan. 11 in the hybrid mode.
Under the hybrid model, students with names starting with A through L attend in-person classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, while students with names starting with M through Z attend in-person classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. All students in the hybrid model learn remotely on Fridays.
