Some Massachusetts Students Will Need to Switch Teachers Mid-Year
The day before the one-year anniversary of Governor Charlie Baker s declaration of a State of Emergency due to COVID-19, Education Commissioner Jeffrey Riley made the call to mandate the process of reopening the schools for full-time, in-person learning. This has been the goal from the beginning. We know that the greatest thing to do is to have our children and our teachers together, said Dr. Robert Baldwin, President of the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents and Fairhaven Superintendent of Schools.

The deadline for elementary schools (K-5) to reopen to full-time, in-person learning is April 5, 2021. The commissioner also announced the deadline for a return to middle school will be Wednesday, April 28, 2021.
Last year, Fairhaven Superintendent of Schools Dr. Robert Baldwin was named President of the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents. At the time, he joked with me about winning and the timing of the opportunity during the COVID-19 pandemic. It would be hard to imagine a tougher time to take on such a position, but in reality, Baldwin relished the chance to demonstrate leadership.
The world was in the middle of a pandemic. Here in Massachusetts, the debate was white-hot about whether or not learning should be conducted in school buildings and, if so, when that should begin and what it should look like. Dr. Baldwin helped make those decisions at the state level and helped shape policy for school systems all across the Commonwealth.
