Read Article POLAND — Administrators of RSU 16 school district decided Tuesday to drop the idea of students returning to five-days-a-week of in-person instruction until after summer break. “The most prudent decision to make at this time is to stay the course for the remainder of the school year and plan for the full return of all our students in the fall,” said a joint letter posted on the district’s Facebook page by Superintendent Kenneth Healey and Assistant Superintendent Amy Hediger. The move follows a week of heated debate within the three-town district — Poland, Minot and Mechanic Falls — as some pushed for students to switch to daily in-person classes and others urged officials to stick with the existing hybrid model that has most students studying remotely at least half the time.
