(Griswold) The Griswold School Board on Monday night spent an hour discussing the district’s return-to-learn plan.
Governor Reynolds’s proclamation released last week states return-to-learn plans must contain at least 50-percent on-site learning. Districts must allow students with a medical condition or a caregiver with a medical situation to learn on-line. Districts must also approve students to learn virtually.
Griswold Schools Superintendent Henrichs says the district’s decision is on-site learning while allowing students to take classes virtually.
“We would like parents and students to commit to one or the other for at least one quarter during the school year,” said Henrichs. “This will help with the planning and avoid students flip-flopping back and forth. We will allow that to happen in certain circumstances.”
David Henrichs says the school district has two primary goals; educate kids and ensure students’ and staff’s safety.
“We doing the best we can to have these things in place, but for me to look a student, parent, or staff member in the eye, and I would guarantee would be a lie,” said Henrichs. “We ask people to be understanding and flexible, because of the choices we think we can make, may be taken out of our hands.”
The administration continues to finalize those details on how they will provide the virtual learning option for those students wishing to take classes from home.
