On Monday, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction released an 83- page document to help schools throughout the state reopen safely in September amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The Education Forward guidelines include scheduling for physical distancing that keeps student-teacher ratios to 10/1 or fewer. Mark Vandenhouten, principal of St. Mary’s School in Luxemburg and Holy Trinity in Casco, says details are still being worked on to make the learning environment as safe as possible.
Each school district will have to come up with a decision over the summer on how to reopen for the 2020-2021 school year. You can find the complete guidelines by clicking here.
