With some Pennsylvanian schools on track to start the new year next month, plans are in the works to bring K-12 students back into the classroom.
Running a school during a pandemic has education officials asking themselves many questions. How many days a week will students attend physical classes? Will they stay in one classroom all day? Will the attendance schedule differ by grade level?
All of these questions need to be answered by districts themselves, not Harrisburg or Washington.
"I could tell you in 25 years in education, this is a summer like no other," said, John Rushefski, Superintendent of the Jim Thorpe Area School District.
