Grade configurations established in the pandemic will continue, board decides Written By: Anne Jacobson | × RED WING -- Public schools will continue with the K-6 and 7-12 grade configurations for the 2021-22 academic year. The Red Wing School Board approved the administration’s plan 3-2 on Tuesday, Jan 18. The plan is for full in-person learning come fall. “That’s our expectation. That’s our hope,” Superintendent Karsten Anderson said, but this configuration also accommodates the pandemic unknowns such as a future need for hybrid learning, social distancing and other COVID-19 restrictions. “This is the one scenario that provides all of these flexibilities,” Twin Bluff Principal Chris Palmatier said, stressing it would be for one more year.
