Newark Schools Expanding In-Person Learning To 4 Days Per Week
NEWARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- Students can expect to be in school a lot more going forward in New Jersey's largest city.
"Today, we announce that we have every single school in Newark offering four days of in-person instruction with a few planning for a full week," an official said Tuesday.
Earlier this month, students returned to classrooms for the first time in more than a year.
Schools have been operating on a hybrid model and prior to Tuesday were operating at two in-person days per week.
COVID-19 safety protocols remain in place. Students have their temperatures checked, their hands and shoes sanitized, and face masks are required.
School officials said they are looking forward to a full reopening in September.
