TOPSHAM Maine School Administrative District 75 will increase fourth- and fifth-graders’ in-person learning days from two to four days a week starting Feb. 22, Assistant Superintendent Amanda Hersey told the school board Thursday.
The district has been increasing in-person learning incrementally, starting with the youngest grades, since December 2020. The school board has continued to debate whether it should bring students back to school full-time and, if so, how quickly.
In the meantime, students continue to participate in a mix of in-person and remote learning. The district has also offered a remote-only option for students.
