Pandemic issues make September new goal By Madeline Hughes mhughes@andovertownsman.com Apr 22, 2021 5 hrs ago Because of space issues at Andover High, it's unlikely students will return to classrooms full time this spring, school officials said. They said the pandemic's social-distancing rules prevent the school's classrooms from providing the space needed for all students to return full time. Groups of students now attend the school on alternate days under the hybrid learning method. They learn remotely online from home on days they don't go to school. Janet Nicosia, director of facilities for the school district, said officials are hoping social-distancing rules are relaxed by the start of the next school year. That would allow students' desks to be placed closer together and classrooms to hold more children.
