MIDDLETOWN Schools will send students in pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade back to school buildings nearly full-time beginning March 15 four days per week, while keeping those in grades 6-12 continuing under a hybrid model, despite appeals from parents who say experts’ data supports full reentry.
Students will continue to learn remotely on Wednesdays.
The proposal, debated over the course of a five-hour virtual meeting, was approved by the Board of Education earlier this week by an 8-1 vote, with member and attorney Christopher Sugar as the sole dissenter.
