State Says No More Remote Days for Haverhill’s K-1 Students Once They Return April 5

The state says Haverhill’s kindergarten and first grade students will have no remote days at all once they return to in-person learning Monday, April 5. Education Commissioner Jeffrey C. Riley largely approved Haverhill’s phased-in classroom return plan, but nixed a waiver for a planned Wednesday, April 7, remote day. Haverhill school Superintendent Margaret Marotta told WHAV Wednesday Haverhill’s request was a “minimal waiver to begin with,” requesting the phase-in take place over two weeks. “We were hoping to have a full remote day for all students on April 7, which means our K and 1 students would have returned in full for the fifth and sixth and had a full remote day on the seventh, but he asked that we not do that,” Marotta explained. The superintendent said the order does not present any difficulty and may offer benefits.
