District plans for reopening schools due to state
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts school districts are submitting their plans for reopening schools amid the coronavirus pandemic to state education officials. Districts are required to submit to the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education by Friday plans for three different scenarios: in-person classes, remote learning, or a hybrid of the two options. Boston, the state’s largest public school system, has already ruled out in-person classes, at least for the fall. Worcester, the state’s second largest city, announced it will start the year with online classes. Springfield, the state’s third largest city, has confirmed it will take a similar approach.
