CINCINNATI â The Cincinnati Public Schools Board of Education voted against a motion Wednesday to reconsider resuming its blended learning model on Feb. 1, meaning it is still on track to phase-in its blended model next month. The district also released its plan to transition to blended learning Wednesday night.
The vote on the motion to reconsider came nearly a week after Hamilton County was designated purple on the Ohio Department of Healthâs color-coded COVID-19 risk map, indicating severe spread in the area. County residents have been advised not to leave their homes except for essential supplies and services.

The Cincinnati Public Schools Board of Education in December laid out plans to return to blended learning if the city remained below 40 new daily COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people. When the board voted last week to return Feb. 1, the city was averaging 66 new daily cases. Some teachers are frustrated with the new plan, saying staff weren t given the opportunity to provide input, and they re worried about contracting the virus. Kia Alexander teaches science at the School For Creative and Performing Arts. The county has, as we all know, recently moved into purple, Alexander said. It worries me that we likely won t be fully vaccinated, almost any of us, before we re teaching in-person again.

CINCINNATI (FOX19) - The Cincinnati Public Schools Board of Education unanimously approved an anti-racism policy Wednesday evening, according to board member Mike Moroski.
The policy outlines general changes to the district’s curriculum, employee and student discipline procedures, extra-curricular activities and hiring and recruiting.
It also envisions district-wide annual anti-racism training.
Policy 2256 (Anti-Racism Policy) has unanimously passed. It is now official policy of Cincinnati Public Schools that we reject all forms of racism as destructive to the District’s mission, vision, values, and goals. There is much work to be done, but this is a big step. Mike Moroski (@mike moroski) December 16, 2020
