Kindergarten through fifth-graders in Libertyville Elementary District 70 will return to a full-day classroom schedule beginning April 12.
The same option won t immediately be available for sixth- through eighth-graders at Highland Middle School. But livestreaming will be implemented March 8 in an enhanced hybrid model with longer hours.
The actions were approved Monday as one of three options presented by Superintendent Matt Barbini. It s about continuous growth and improvement, and it s about continuing to seek ways to increase instructional time for all kids including our virtual kids, and including our in-person kids in an equitable way, Barbini said.
All five District 70 schools have offered some in-person learning since November. With students struggling socially and emotionally, parents have been pushing to take the next step.
