Laker Letter editor, Trent, recently reached out to Mrs. Thornton to ask questions about the status of school reopening. She responded on November 23, and here is what we’ve learned: Trent: Students have heard many rumors about school reopening, what can you confirm and what information can you tell us about the progress of reopening. Mrs. Thornton: This is not a rumor. The School Board announced a potential for a return to school 5 days a week. The vote will be made on Dec 21st at the school board meeting. Surveys were sent out to parents on Nov 19th for input. Trent: If all students return to the building, what kind of preparations will be made to maintain a safe social distance and sanitary environment. Mrs. Thornton: We will continue using the safety protocols that are in place. Staggered transition times, desk shields, 2 in the bathroom at a time, masks, hand sanitizing, socially distancing. Trent: Would AB come back? what would that look like? Mrs. Thornton: We have not discussed this yet Trent: What are your opinions on school reopening? Why are you opposed/in favor? Mrs. Thornton: I would love to have students back in the building when and only when it is safe to return. As with everything else currently, the status of students returning to school in person full time will be subject to change based on decisions made by the School Board and the Maine Department of Education. -Trent Comments are closed.
