Now that Plymouth students are back in the classroom, Superintendent Andy Hartley is thanking everyone who helped the school corporation get to that point. He told the school board Tuesday that he couldn’t be more proud of the students, teachers, and staff.
“There are challenges,” Hartley acknowledged, “whether it be ensuring adequate hand washing, sanitizing, new hallway/cafeteria procedures, trying to balance just having students in-person as well as our virtual learners.”
Hartley said teachers and administrators, as well as students and parents, continue to look at that balance, to make sure it’s working for everyone. He said if there are any changes, school officials will make sure they’re in the best interests of students and staff.
The Plymouth Community School Corporation began the year virtually on August 12, before adding in-person instruction on August 24.
