“At this point, we do not know if it is feasible,” Mashpee School Superintendent Patricia DeBoer said.
While K-3 students in Mashpee already attend school in-person 100% of the time, students in grades 4-12 attend school in a hybrid model that alternates between in-person and remote instruction.
There are many factors that have to be considered before returning students to an in-person schedule five days a week, including whether to stagger their return and how to arrange the spacing of desks, transportation, personnel needs and lunch and recess schedules, DeBoer said.
There’s also concern that spread of the virus and the need for contact tracing will increase if students are spaced closer than 6 feet apart, DeBoer said in an email.
