FOX 5 NY's Jodi Goldberg looks at how districts on Long Island are handling what to do. LONG ISLAND - The Jericho School District is picking up where they left off before winter recess and following the same model of daily in-person learning for students K through 5 with grades 6 through 12 alternating in-person and remote learning. "We're up, running, things are going well," said Hank Grishman, superintendent of schools in the Jericho School District. "We have kids who are hybrid today and remote tomorrow and it serves the interest of our kids and keeps them in school."
