Amherst school committees instruct superintendent to plan in-person learning FILE PHOTO Published: 3/4/2021 7:35:46 PM AMHERST — Students throughout the Amherst, Pelham and Amherst-Pelham Regional schools should have an opportunity to attend school in person starting in April. The three school committees Wednesday voted unanimously to instruct Superintendent Michael Morris to develop a plan in which “all students who want it” will be able to finish the school year with instruction at the elementary schools, the middle school and the high school. Allison McDonald, chairwoman of the Amherst and Regional school committees, said the votes restate a commitment to provide the right education for all students and to give parents and guardians the choice of continuing remote instruction, which has been the main method of learning for most students for about a year, or to have their children return to classrooms for the first time since March 2020.
