(Harlan) School leaders continue work on the Harlan Community School District return-to-learn plan.
Schools Superintendent Lynn Johnson reported to the school board on Monday that these committees meet weekly. The options include remote learning, a blended plan with some students on-site, and others learning remotely during the live session. The third option is an in-person plan, which, according to survey results from the parents, is the plan wanted by the majority of the respondents to a recent survey sent out to parents and guardians. Lynn Johnson, says one of the questions in the study read if deemed safe to gather, would you be willing to send your child to school?.
Johnson says they will continue to evaluate and make sure the district can staff, which is also a big issue. Once all of the pieces are in place, they can start flushing out the plan.
Johnson foresees the release of additional guidelines.
