KENNEBUNK, Maine – Stay with the hybrid model of student instruction, or choose a new direction?
In the coming weeks, RSU 21 Superintendent Terri Cooper and her staff will be weighing options to decide how students will be receiving their instruction moving forward, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.
Cooper said she and her team of administrators decided to explore the issue after receiving interest from the community in having students spend more time at their schools than they currently do with the hybrid model.
Cooper and several administrators on Monday presented the RSU 21 School Board and the public with seven possible approaches they will be exploring.
