Arlington Heights Elementary District 25 plans to return to full, in-person, five-day-a-week instruction starting with summer school June 16 and continuing with the next school year beginning Aug. 19, officials said.
The move would serve as an expansion of the current four-day-a-week system for families that have chosen the in-person option. It likely would also mean continuation of any mitigation strategies, including mask wearing, recommended by the Cook County Department of Public Health at the time, said Superintendent Lori Bein.
A remote learning option may also be part of the mix for the fall whether the state mandates it, or District 25 chooses to offer it but the district would change the format into a remote academy taught separately from in-person instruction, Bein said.
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) After last week s winter storm closed down schools, most districts opted to go virtual on Wednesday. But in Houston ISD, there was a catch.
Parents told ABC13 their kids were only required to log in for a short time without any teachers. They add this created a lot of confusion.
When we reached with some questions to the district, here s what it had to say in response.
Students were told they would only have to log in for about 40 minutes [Wednesday] to complete assignments, yet no teachers. Why was that decision made? Teachers were provided a teacher preparation day and had the option to return to campuses or work remotely [Wednesday Feb. 24] before returning in person on Thursday, Feb. 25. After our students and their families experienced a very difficult week, we wanted to make sure all facilities were repaired and ready and that students were able to have a smooth transition back to class using virtual asynchronous learning, HISD said.
