There will be no changes next week for the in-person class situation in Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) Schools, as had been tentatively planned.  Grades 5 & 6 will remain 50% in-person following action by the school board Wednesday night.

The vote was 5-2, with board members Amanda Shera and Brad Boyer voting no.  Previously, the board had acted to have grades 5 & 6 go to a 100% in-person classroom schedule.  The action Wednesday keeps the situation the same, at least for now.

Experience with COVID-19 in the schools and the community as a whole were cited as reasons for keeping the hybrid system in place for grades 5 & 6.
