MONROE, CT — Monroe’s public schools are evaluating three scenarios for reopening school amid the coronavirus pandemic, two involving classes inside the buildings. However, unless there is a vaccine, families will always have the option of distance learning, if they want to keep their children home. The Reopening Committee made a presentation to the Board of Education during its meeting, held remotely Tuesday night. Educators are weighing the options of a full return for all students with heightened health and safety protocols, a hybrid return with half the students in school and half at home on a given day, or having all students learn remotely. “Right now, I have no idea,” Acting Superintendent Joseph Kobza said of which option he would choose.
