Empty classrooms at Walsh Intermediate School. (Ellyn Santiago/Patch)
BRANFORD, CT For hours Wednesday night, parents shared their urgent and impassioned calls for a return to full, in-person classes in Branford schools during the Board of Education meeting.
One after the other, parents, some in person at the special meeting and most online calling in, were frustrated, angry, and even tearful as they demanded action. Their refrain is that families are struggling, students are struggling and most believe that the data and science show kids are better off in school than not.
Parent Jennifer Orlando came armed with a Change.org petition signed by 385 people calling for a return to full, in-person classes, or at the very least a solid plan for that return.
