There will be no changes next week for the in-person class situation in Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) Schools, as had been tentatively planned. Grades 5 and 6 will remain 50 percent in-person following action by the school board Wednesday night.
The vote was 5-2, with board members Amanda Shera and Brad Boyer voting no. Previously, the board had acted to have grades 5 and 6 go to a 100 percent in-person classroom schedule. The action Wednesday keeps the situation the same, at least for now.
Experience with COVID-19 in the schools and the community as a whole were cited as reasons for keeping the hybrid system in place for grades 5 and 6.
