Children in Grades kindergarten through 5 returned to schools April 5 as required by the state. Like many districts, the Adams-Cheshire schools had been shifting between hybroid and remote. Dean said the MOU mostly represented updated state guidance such as the 3-foot desk spacing instead of 6 feet. This does lock in a 6-foot buffer between the teacher instruction area and the front row of students. Dean said the MOU gives teachers up to 10 quarantine days that do not count against sick time. Given everything that we are looking at at the time, this seemed like a fair compromise, he said.

He said staff do need to receive a test to use the time and can t just take the 10 days off.
