No Return to Classrooms in 2020 for Most Arlington Public School Students

JUST IN: No Return to Classrooms in 2020 for Most APS Students
ARLnow.com Today at 6:25pm
Most Arlington Public Schools students will not return to classrooms until 2021.
Superintendent Dr. Francisco Durán announced today that the planned “Level 2” return for younger and technical education students “will pause through the remainder of this calendar year.” On the other hand, the “Level 1” return for students with disabilities will proceed as planned this coming Wednesday. ... The delay follows an increase in local cases.
“I have made the decision to pause Level 2, which we had projected to begin November 12,” Durán wrote in an email to APS families. “We continue to see the case incidence rate in our area increasing, not decreasing. Level 2 comprises significantly larger numbers of students and staff. Moving too quickly to Level 2, while case levels are still rising, represents a safety risk and could cause further disruption to schedules.”
Durán said the school system will continue “to solidify staffing plans and capacity for Level 2 students” and will provide regular updates through December. ... The full email is below.
