CBS Boston 3/10/2021 Syndicated Local – CBS Boston
BOSTON (CBS) Massachusetts is aiming to do away with remote and hybrid learning for students in grades K-8 by the end of April. Elementary and Secondary Education Commissioner Jeffrey Riley announced deadlines on Tuesday for elementary and middle schools to return to in-person learning.
Elementary schools will be required to have “full-time, in-person instruction five days per week” starting Monday, April 5. Middle schools will have to do the same by Wednesday, April 28.
No deadline has been set for high school students, but the timing will be announced in April. Districts will get at least two weeks notice before students will be required to return to in-person learning full-time, Riley said.
