FALL RIVER — A majority of Fall River and Somerset students won’t be heading back into their classrooms after the holiday school break.
While those two school districts have decided to stay remote, the Westport School Committee recently nixed a proposal to do the same. Swansea Superintendent of Schools John Robidoux said Swansea students will remain in hybrid mode following the winter break.
“I do not feel that going fully remote pre-emptively makes sense at this juncture. I remain committed to ensuring that we have as many students as possible partaking in in-person learning, as long as we can continue to adhere to the health and safety guidelines that we have in place,” said Robidoux, adding he's hopeful that parents, students and staff will remain vigilant during the break to ward off a further spike in cases.
