Governor Charlie Baker ramped up the pressure Wednesday for most Massachusetts school districts to bring students back for in-person classes, telling school officials they should only pursue remote-only learning if their community is in the state’s highest coronavirus risk category for three consecutive weeks.
Sixteen Massachusetts communities were identified by Baker as having chosen a remote-only start for the academic year when “the public health data supports a return to in-person learning.”
“Local officials run their local schools,” Baker said. “We understand that, but the state has an obligation to ensure that local officials are providing the best possible education in these difficult circumstances to kids and their communities.”
