COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
Columbia Public Schools Superintendent Peter Stiepleman presented a four-day week option for bringing students back to classrooms at the Columbia Board of Education special meeting on Tuesday.
The plan said social distancing would not be possible if elementary students returned to school.
Stiepleman said the hybrid learning model would allow students to socially distance in classrooms as opposed to the in-person option.
The superintendent quoted MU Health Care infectious disease expert Dr. Christelle Ilboudo in the presentation saying the school district had to prioritize lower grades for all-day, in-person learning.
Ilboudo said the one challenge would be social distancing for younger students but that the four-day week option makes more sense than the hybrid model for the whole district.
She said students with IEP’s or special needs should be prioritized for in-person learning.
Visitors and student teachers would be restricted across the district.
If approved, the option would have elementary students returning to classrooms on Oct. 19, middle school students on Nov. 15 and high school students on Jan. 19.
Stiepleman said a four-day week would allow schools to be prepared for additional 14-day closures, weekly building cleaning and essential training.
The district's hybrid model could be sidelined in the new learning plan. It has been part of the district's coronavirus planning since March.
Stiepleman said the hybrid model can’t be short-term and it would reduce instructional time. He added changes to the curriculum would need to be made under the hybrid plan.
The board of education is expected to vote on the four-day week plan at its meeting on Monday.
