Schools are stumbling out of the pandemic’s shadow transfigured, cleaved in two as they teach some children in classrooms and others at home, remotely. Originally imagined as a time-limited response, that duality is reshaping schools for next year, and possibly longer, prompting new questions about how separate and how equal remote learners’ educational experiences will be.
If even 20 percent of students learn virtually next year, that would create “a whole new parallel track for schools,” said Heather Schwartz, a RAND Corp. researcher who led a recent study showing that 1 in 5 districts were planning or considering a fully remote learning option for 2021-22. Before the pandemic, less than half of 1 percent of U.S. K-12 students studied virtually, according to 2018-19 federal data
Dayton schools face short summer, leadership turnover Jeremy P. Kelley
Dayton’s school board on Tuesday approved a “back-to-normal” school calendar for 2021-22, and approved yet another district leader’s resignation.
Dayton Public Schools students will be in class through June 29 this year because DPS was the only district to completely stop classes between Thanksgiving and Christmas as COVID cases surged.
After a short seven-week summer, students will be back in class Aug. 18. The 2021-22 calendar has its normal holiday and spring breaks, and a May 27 last day for students. Teachers, who are regularly involved in building these calendars, get a six-week summer, then start work Aug. 12 and finish May 31.
