Pawtucket School Committee votes to return to in-person learning
PAWTUCKET -- The School Committee Tuesday night unanimously approved an in-person return to school for most of its students, a plan they had unanimously rejected a month ago.
Pawtucket was the only district out of 60-plus districts to remain in remote learning, a move that left many parents furious and demanding in previous meetings that the committee reverse its decision.
The plan now calls for bringing back elementary students March 1, middle school students (grades 7 and 8) March 15 and returning high school students on a hybrid schedule March 29.
Parents will have the option to choose remote learning.
