Guidance from the Department of Education
On Thursday, June 25th, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) released their initial Return to School Guidance for school reopening this fall (see links). The guidance prioritizes the opportunity for in-person learning, with comprehensive health and safety requirements. In partnership with city leadership, we are evaluating all DESE guidelines as we work to develop our district’s reopening plan. We are reviewing feedback from our Remote Learning survey and Reopening survey conducted in June and July, as well as seeking additional feedback form staff and community members throughout the summer. Thank you for your continued feedback.
