Under the plan, students in kindergarten through 5th grade would receive in-person instruction for four weeks in July, while those in grades 6 through 12 would learn remotely during the same timeframe, district officials said in discussing the optional program.
“This program is going to be open to everyone, because it would benefit everyone,” Joanna Tsimpedes, an assistant superintendent, told the school board Wednesday night.
Approximately 28,000 students in Paterson, the state’s third-largest city, have been relying on virtual instruction from home since schools across the state first closed in mid-March 2020 at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.
