Sandwich school district administrators are talking with local health and safety officials about the possibility of holding only remote classes for students the week after the holiday break.
The idea, which has the support of Health Agent David Mason and Fire Chief John J. Burke, would be to prevent the possible spread of COVID-19 in the schools by students and staff who may have been infected during the break.
But the school committee had mixed feelings when it was presented to the board at a special meeting held on Thursday last week.
Superintendent Pamela A. Gould will not need the board s approval to move ahead with the plan if that is what she decides to do, but she told the board members that she wanted to make sure they understood what her thought process was. Mr. Mason and Chief Burke also spoke to the board about the plan during the meeting.
