CT school districts will not be required to provide remote learning next year School districts in Connecticut will not be required to provide remote learning in the fall, officials said Tuesday. The state Department of Education told public school districts on Tuesday that they will not be required to provide remote learning in the fall, clearing the way for more students to get back in the classrooms. School districts have been required to provide remote learning since the pandemic disrupted in-person learning last spring. In guidance sent to superintendents Tuesday, the Department of Education said that since there is no existing mandate under Connecticut or federal law that says all districts must offer remote learning options beyond this current school year, officials “do not anticipate the need to mandate” remote learning as an option.
