SALEM, MA Salem Public Schools intends to meet the state s directive to bring back all elementary school students five days per week in the classroom when it offers full, in-classroom learning to students in kindergarten through eighth grade by April 5.
A date for high school students to return full-time has not been determined. We are still formulating our plans (for Salem High), Superintendent Stephen Zrike said on Tuesday. But it is our expectation that before the end of April we will have students back five days a week at the high school level. … I think it would be a safe bet to say that it will be following the April vacation the third week of April.
