HOLLAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM) – School districts across Michigan are planning for the upcoming academic year, fully knowing that those plans could be altered drastically at a moment’s notice due to the ongoing COVID 19 situation.
Superintendent Dr. Brian Davis is hopeful, but also realistic, about all students being masked for in-classroom education when classes begin at Holland Public Schools on Wednesday, August 26th, knowing that returning to all-virtual learning, as was the case when Governor Whitmer ordered all schools closed on March 13th, could return if coronavirus cases spike again. “I don’t think it’s, ‘Are we going to?’ It’s going to be when we have to,” Dr. Davis said on “WHTC Talk of the Town” during his monthly appearance on Thursday. “We might have to pivot in the fall at some point, (and then when) we come back face-to-face, we might have to pivot next spring when (COVID 19) resurfaces again. We’re better prepared.”
There will be three separate ZOOM Town Hall meetings, for parents of elementary, middle and high school students, this coming Monday to go over Holland’s “Return to Learn” plan.
