Superintendent Willie Jett announced at the Feb. 3 Board of Education meeting a tentative plan to see students in grades 6-12 return to in-person learning third trimester.
The calendar of events includes:
• Feb. 26: End of Trimester 2;
• March 1-5: Mid-winter break;
• March 8-9: Staff transition days as required by the Minnesota Department of Education;
• March 10: Tentative start to in-person learning for grades 6-12.
There are no changes for preschool, elementary, and alternative special education schools, which returned to in-person learning today. Secondary Distance Learning Academy will not be in session March 8-9, but otherwise is not impacted by this transition.
Secondary schools have not been in session Monday-Friday since last March. Jett said he will update the board and community on secondary return-to-school plans at the next Board of Education meeting on February 17.
