CT School Reopening: Take The Patch Survey

CONNECTICUT — Students, teachers and administrators are all back to school, in one form or anther in Connecticut, as districts across the state navigate "The New Normal."

For most schools, that's some variation on full in-person or hybrid learning, but there have been more than a dozen reports of coronavirus cases. An inconsistency in the way the districts handle the flare-ups has raised some concerns among parents and teachers.

Some schools have shut down for a day or two, others have had classrooms self-quarantine, and others have done contact tracing for people who were in close contact with the infected person.

Gov. Ned Lamont said Monday that schools generally won't have to shut down to in-person learning if there is a single coronavirus case, especially at the K-8 level where class cohorting is possible.

A few districts didn't even take a chance on the hybrid attendance model. New Haven Public Schools will be fully remote for at least the first 10 weeks of school. A spike in cases in Danbury has forced that city's school district to temporarily go remote.

So Patch wants to know: How are things going in your students' district? And how are parents and students feeling about the new policies and procedures?
