Sep 30 2020 · Last Night at School Committee Meeting Recap · Ep.16
In this episode, Jill and Ross discuss the highlights of last night’s Boston Public School Committee Meeting. As schools reopen today to welcome some of the in-person priority students, there was a lot of discussion about what has been done and concerns from teachers, families, and community members.
As the City of Boston has been designated a red zone in Massachusetts, the Superintendent and her team provided an update about how remote learning has improved and updates on the phased-in reopening plan.
Many families, teachers, parents, and community members expressed their concerns over reopening safely as well as raising frustration over School Committee members wanting to limit the number of public comments made.
Students with in-person priority were welcomed back to their schools today, despite the rising case rates throughout Boston. Starting October 12th, in-person priority students can return to school 4 days a week, while hybrid instruction for all students is scheduled to start on October 15th.
