GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – The Green Bay school board is set to discuss whether there’s a way to get students back into schools amid the coronavirus pandemic.
In a letter to families on Friday, superintendent Stephen Murley wrote that he joined parents in “feeling frustrated and sad that our students have not been able to return to their schools.”
Murley wrote that, at its Dec. 14 meeting, the board plans to review gating criteria that was established in October. The board will also vote on whether to approve a hybrid learning model that was proposed last month.
The gating criteria require Brown County’s caseload to be less than 20 per 100,000 residents over a 14-day period for full in-school classes. Between 20 and 100 cases, schools would be in “blended learning,” with students in school twice a week. If the case load is more than 100, school will be virtual.
Brown County’s case load for the most recent two-week period available was 979.5 per 100,000, according to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
Murley also wrote that district administrators would make a recommendation to the board regarding athletics and activities, which have been virtual along with the schools.
Finally, Murley wrote that the district would post on its website the number of staff members who have voluntarily reported either a positive COVID-19 test or quarantine status.
The virtual school board meeting is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Dec. 14.
