With the launch of a teaching model called Distance Learning Plus less than two weeks away, educators at Malibu’s elementary schools are prepping campuses for the return of TK-5 students.
Under a deal reached between the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District and its teachers union, DL+ as it’s known, includes distance learning three days per week and in-person activities the others. Officials say the agreement “seeks to balance having on-site/in-person academic, physical and social-emotional learning experiences, while not disadvantaging students who remain at home.”
Surfside News took a tour of Malibu Elementary School to see how things will change when students return the week of March 15.
