During a special meeting on Wednesday, the Hamilton Southeastern Board of Trustees voted to keep all students, PreK-12, in 100 percent virtual learning through Jan. 15, 2021.

“Based on the fact that our community COVID-related numbers from the Fishers Health Department are not decreasing, and we continue to experience a substantial number of teacher and student absences, I believe it is better to remain status quo than go back-and-forth between learning models,” Superintendent Dr. Allen Bourff said.
The board will reassess the situation on Jan. 13, 2021 to determine the best learning model for students moving forward.
It is the goal of the board to get students, especially the youngest learners, back to in-person learning as soon as possible. HSE is in the process of on-boarding more than 100 substitutes in the coming weeks. District officials say they are greatly appreciative of those who have offered to help in the classrooms.
