The Fond du Lac School Board is expected to vote in favor of a blended model for all grade levels when they meet in special session Wednesday evening. Currently the reopening plan calls for in-person instruction five days a week at the elementary level, with a blended model of in-person and online instruction at the middle and high schools. Interim superintendent Sharon Simon says the board is expected to vote in favor of a blended model grades K-12. “I think the board wants to make the best decisions especially regarding the safety of students and staff and we know this is a difficult time for parents and they have to make difficult decisions,” Simon told WFDL news. Simon says the decision was made after the board heard feedback from parents and staff and with the recent jump in COVID-19 cases locally. Simon says 15-20 percent of parents have already registered their child in the district’s online only option.
