By Alberta Stojkovic - The Sentinel
MOUNT GILEAD The Mount Gilead School Board heard comments concerning in-person learning from parents, teachers and administrators at their Jan. 19 meeting.
The District is presently in “hybrid” learning with children attending school 2 days per week with Wednesdays used for teacher planning.
Superintendent Larry Zimmerman said he has gotten calls from parents who prefer to remain hybrid as well as those who want to return to in-person learning.
Parents spoke at the meeting who are very concerned their children are falling behind in their studies. They feel they are failing as teachers and it is causing distress for them and their children not to have more classroom instruction.
Mount Gilead school board reviews hybrid learning policy
By Alberta Stojkovic - The Sentinel
MOUNT GILEAD Following the Dec. 15 Mount Gilead School Board meeting, board members along with teachers and administrators spent an hour discussing the benefits and drawbacks of in-person or face-to-face learning versus hybrid and remote learning.
The school district is presently in a hybrid mode of learning until the end of the grading period Jan. 21 due to the widespread of Covid-19 in the county. Students now are attending school two days and are learning at home or remotely the other three days of the week.
Board member Brandie Salisbury said she has heard concerns of several parents that it is time to go back to five day in-person learning. Salisbury said that as a parent herself, it is difficult for her family to have this situation with so much time learning at home.
