Abington School District Superintendent Jeffrey S. Fecher, Ed.D. sent a letter to district families today that outlined the reopening plan that the administration will present to the school board during an August 11th meeting. The plan is a fully virtual model with a caveat to re-evaluate at Thanksgiving. Schools across the country closed in March and are currently planning to reopen in some capacity for the 2020-2021 school year.

From the letter:

Since the beginning of that planning process, Abington School District administration has been working diligently to gather input from the span of our school community–including through the Superintendent’s Committee representing many stakeholders from each school, and through various parent/guardian and teacher/staff surveys. The Abington School District administrative team knew that planning for the start of school would be a difficult undertaking, for which no playbook has ever been written, and I want to start by thanking them and our committee members for devoting their time this summer to aid in this process. 

In preparation for our August 11th meeting of the Board of School Directors, at which the Board will vote on a Health, Safety and Instructional Plan for Fall 2020, I write to share an overview of the model that we will present next week: a fully virtual instructional delivery model with a re-evaluation to return to school after Thanksgiving. 

The letter goes into a lot of additional detail. You can read it here.
