Some students returning to more in-person instruction

FRSD Families,

As many of you are aware, over spring break, the State released new guidance that allows for a reduction to “3 Feet of Physical Distancing under Certain Conditions.”  Since that time, I have been in communication with building administrators, association leadership, and other partners to identify how this change could assist us in expanding our in-person instruction offerings.  Unfortunately, the 6 feet of physical distancing requirement remains in tact any time students are eating, passing in the hallways, and between staff and students at all times as well as between staff and staff at all times.

A final decision on when/how we can expand our in-person offerings, and I do expect us to expand, will be made soon.  As early as the next 24 hours and no later than the end of this week.  Any changes would begin the week of April 19th (start of 4th quarter) at the earliest.  Unfortunately the restrictions still in place will prevent us from bringing back all students every day.  Having said that, I am doing everything in my power to get more students in, each day, at all levels, K-12.  Stay tuned.
