Haverhill school students will not be returning to their classrooms until after the middle of January.
The Haverhill School Committee met last night to reconsider its previous decision to have students return to a hybrid learning model on Jan. 4. Many parents and teachers protested that decision, saying returning to any form of in-person education so soon after the holidays would put students and staff at further risk of spreading COVID-19. Lauren Sanguedolce, a Haverhill school math teacher, expressed her opinion.
“Tonight, you need to make a very important decision using your brains and your hearts. You must vote to keep school buildings closed until it is safe. That means keeping all staff members and students home until further notice,” she said.
