Amherst school officials pledge to have all students in class this fall Amherst Regional High School AMHERST — After 11 months of entirely remote instruction, which for many students in the Amherst and Amherst-Pelham regional schools could extend through the remainder of the current school year, school leaders are pledging to have all students, teachers and staff back in classrooms this fall. The Amherst-Pelham Regional School Committee, joined by the Amherst and Pelham school committees, adopted a resolution on Feb. 16 promising in-person instruction when schools reopen after the summer break, conditioned on input from local health officials. The resolution states that as long as safety guidelines of local public health officials are fully adhered to, the schools “will provide full-time in-person learning for the full 2021-2022 school year for all students. The Superintendent will manage this plan and any shift back to remote learning based on a continuous assessment of health conditions in direct consultation with local public health officials.”
