Gibraltar School District is taking steps to help make staff feel more agreeable about the resumption of in-person instruction. A recent survey in Green Bay showed 18% of the district’s employees were “not at all” comfortable with going back. Superintendent Tina VanMeer says the building will be open to all employees on July 1st, and they are encouraged to tour the new safety precautions that have been put in place. VanMeer does not have a hard number but assumes many workers have some concerns about their safety. The Gibraltar School Building finished renovations in January, and the hope is the unique layout will allow the district to be more adaptive when implementing safeguards to mitigate disease spread.
