Board of Education approves grades 7-12 learning model changes

The Board of Education held a special Jan. 14, 2021 meeting to determine whether LSR7 students in grades 7-12 who have chosen to learn in-person should shift out of virtual learning starting on Monday, Jan. 25, 2021.

The Board of Education voted 6-1 for all in-person middle and high school learners to shift to a hybrid model on Jan. 25 and then move to a four-days-a-week in-person learning model starting on Feb. 8, 2021.

The special meeting was prompted by the Board of Education’s November decision to decide on Jan. 14 whether grades 7-12 learners should shift out of virtual learning at the beginning of the second semester. 

Earlier this month, the Board determined that grades pre-K-6 will learn in a full-time, in-person model.

Neither Board decision impacts families who have chosen to learn through the R-7 Online Academy for the remainder of the school year.
