LEE â Lee Public Schools will remain in hybrid learning mode, despite surrounding communities reverting to all-remote education because of a spike in coronavirus cases.
School Superintendent Michael Richard told the Lee School Committee on Tuesday night that he has been asked by several residents why Lee doesnât go all remote as a preemptive measure to help keep COVID-19 at bay.
The Great Barrington-based Berkshire Hills Regional School District mostly is remote, with Lenox and Pittsfield returning to all online instruction because of a recent jump in COVID cases in their communities.
Richard noted that Lee is in the green, meaning it is on the low end of the stateâs scale of tracking cases in each municipality. As of last week, Lee has 15 active cases, according to state health data.
