Chicago Public Schools proposes hybrid of online, in-person classes for fall, despite union opposition
CHICAGO - Chicago Public Schools has released a much-anticipated blueprint for fall instruction, saying it plans to adopt a hybrid-learning model that will bring most students back for two-consecutive days of in-person learning on a rotating basis if public health officials say it can be done safely.
Under the "preliminary framework" shared Friday, students in kindergarten through 10th grade will have two days of in-person learning and two days of remote work at home, plus real-time virtual instruction each Wednesday. When at school, students will be grouped into pods of 15 to minimize contact with classmates. High school seniors and juniors will mostly continue to learn at home, except for those who need additional support or those in vocational programs.
The district also outlined increased hygiene protocols for its buildings to prevent the spread
