Brockton: Students Will Not Be Returning to Their Classrooms in the Fall

Brockton students will not be returning to their classrooms in the fall. 

During their meeting Tuesday night the Brockton School Committee voted to begin the 2020-2021 school year in a fully remote format. 

As a result schools will continue remote learning through the first term, with the option to revisit every two weeks and make a switch to a hybrid or full in-person model when the Brockton Board of Health deems it safe to do so. 

School officials say they will establish a “robust training program aimed at preparing students and parents/guardians to effectively use the district’s technology and software.” 

If the schools do move to a hybrid or a full in-person learning model officials say a full virtual learning program will still be made available to families who would like to keep their children home.
