The Mascenic School District has extended its remote learning period through Jan. 19, in a unanimous vote taken during its meeting Monday.
The new reopening date aligns with the recommendation made by the school’s administration and Superintendent Christine Martin.
“Many members of the community have emailed me and said, ‘Dr. Martin, you need to stop living in fear.’ I’m not living in fear, but I am living in reality, in facts and in science,” Martin said, while giving her recommendation to extend remote learning.
The district is currently in a full-remote model, which was originally scheduled to end on Jan. 4. However, on Monday, the board reviewed both the numbers of infection rates for Hillsborough county and the anticipated available staffing levels in the district, and made the decision to extend the remote learning period another two weeks.
