The Vancouver School Board is working on an alternative back-to-school plan for parents who aren’t comfortable with their kids returning to class immediately.
Vancouver high schools to use hybrid model under coronavirus plan
According to the VSB survey, about seven in 10 parents say they’ll send their kids back to school full time in September. Nearly three in 10 were interested in the transitional option, while just one per cent each said they would opt for home schooling or the Vancouver Learning Network, the VSB’s online school.The VSB’s COVID-19 safety plan was approved by the provincial government earlier this week.
Under the plan, elementary school kids will go to class full time, in learning cohorts of 60 or fewer staff and students. High school students will be grouped in learning cohorts of 120 people or fewer, and use a hybrid model that will see them do half of their core studies in class and half online.
