POCATELLO The Pocatello-Chubbuck School District will stick with a hybrid learning model and modified school schedules through February.
Trustees voted Tuesday to continue the instructional model aimed at adapting to COVID-19.
“The board will reconvene in mid-February to determine the course for the remainder of the 2020-21 school year,” district spokeswoman Courtney Fisher said after the meeting.
Tuesday’s decision keeps the district’s K-5 students in a “modified traditional instructional model,” which groups learners in cohorts to receive face-to-face instruction five days a week. Secondary students participate in a hybrid learning model, with two days per week devoted to in-person instruction and three days of remote learning.
