Salina USD 305 has announced a change to its mode of learning.
According to information from the district, elementary students will be on-site every day and grades 6-12 will continue hybrid beginning Sept. 8, 2020. This change is based upon gating criteria released by the Saline County Health Department, the district noted.
The change will take place on Sept. 8 because school will not be in session on Monday due to the Labor Day holiday.
The gating criteria, applied to USD 305, can be found on the district website. The webpage names the learning model under which USD 305 will operate.
“Our families are working to balance keeping their children safe and learning while they maintain jobs,” said Linn Exline, superintendent. “We know it is important for them to have as much notice as possible before moving to a different learning environment.”
The district sent an email and text to parents informing them of the announcement.
Any future changes to the district’s learning model will depend upon the guidance from the Salina County Health Department and the status of COVID-19.
