The Sarasota County School Board took steps on Tuesday toward assuring families that officials expect the next school year will be a return to normal and that they plan to allow several COVID-19-related policies to expire.
The School Board will allow a policy requiring students to wear masks for the majority of the day and to sit behind a tri-fold desk shield during a “mask break” to end on June 30.
Next school year the district will no longer ask teachers to provide concurrent learning, teaching students both in person and remotely at the same time via web cameras.
The district will ask teachers to develop plans for how students can continue learning next year if they have to go into quarantine, without relying on the concurrent learning model, which has been widely panned by teachers, administrators and parents.

Is the home at 1701 Hashay Drive in McClellan Park historically significant and worthy of preservation?
That’s a question that’s drawn opposing responses at City Hall over the past two months after the property owner applied to demolish the three-bedroom, 3,383-square-foot structure. City staff said the answer was no, recommending approval of the permit. The city’s Historic Preservation Board disagreed, voting unanimously to reject the proposed demolition in February. The City Commission overruled the Historic Preservation Board on April 6, siding with the owner in a 4-1 vote.
