Pittsburgh Public Schools Pushes Return Date Back

PITTSBURGH, Pa. (WPXI) — Officials with Pittsburgh Public Schools said they are delaying the spring return to in-person learning. Superintendent Dr. Anthony Hamlet decided to push the return date back to January 18th instead of January 4th.  Hamlet said there could be a hybrid model in place for students by the end of the month. Hamlet said he’s hopeful that things could return to normal in the spring with the introduction of the COVID-19 vaccine. He said right now, in their virtual school model, attendance was more than 90% every day, with 98.5% of active students logging into the online system.
