About 9 percent of students in the Paterson school district are being given the option of returning to classrooms for the final two weeks before the 2021 summer break.
The reopening plan approved Wednesday night by the school board applies to only 2,318 of the 24,588 students in Paterson, according to the district’s spokesperson.
Under the plan, a total of 2,100 special education students in grades pre-K through 12, and 218 students in English Language Learners newcomers programs at Public School No. 15 and the New Roberto Clemente School, will be allowed to return to classrooms on June 8. That’s two weeks before the final day of classes.
