With health metrics improving and mitigation measures in place across Massachusetts schools, Elementary and Secondary Commissioner Jeff Riley said Tuesday it’s time to begin the process of getting more students back into classrooms.
Riley, who joined Gov. Charlie Baker and Education Secretary James Peyser for press conference on education and COVID-19 Tuesday, told Board of Elementary and Secondary Education members that he plans to ask them in March to give him the authority to determine when hybrid and remote school models no longer count for learning hours, as part of a broader plan to return more students to physical school buildings.

Members of the Board of Higher Education and Board of Elementary and Secondary Education reviewed statistics on early college enrollment and outcomes at an early college joint committee meeting held by videoconference.
