Canon McMillan Approves Hybrid Plan

The Canon-McMillan School District has voted to take a hybrid approach to learning this Fall. Board Members voted 7-2 on Thursday night to approve the plan, which will allow students the opportunity to get at least two days of in-class learning each week. According to the plan, students will either return to the building Monday and Thursday, or Tuesday and Friday, depending on which group they are assigned. The days that they are not assigned to come into school, they will be learning virtually. Every student district-wide will be learning from home on Wednesdays in the Fall as long as the current plan holds. The district is also giving students the option to learn virtually full-time as well. Few parents attended the meeting in person to voice concerns, but those who did think it is more important to get kids back into the classroom 5 days a week. The board also voted to bump back the start of school year from Monday, August 24th to Thursday, August 27th to give teachers and aides more time to prepare for classes.
