Uintah School District released a press release Thursday sharing the following: The Uintah School Board on Wednesday night voted in an open public meeting to adopt a schedule for the 2021-2022 academic year that will once again have students attending classes both in person and remotely each week. The board evaluated and discussed survey results, student performance data, and other relevant information before a motion was made to adopt the new schedule. Under the schedule approved by the board, students enrolled in the district’s “brick and mortar” schools next year will attend classes in person Monday through Thursday. On Fridays, most students will attend classes remotely. Those who need additional academic support will receive in-person instruction from their teachers on Fridays. Specifics about the Friday plan for the 2021-2022 academic year will be developed by Superintendent Rick Woodford, district directors and coordinators, and other district stakeholders within the next 60 days, as required by the school board’s vote…Once the Friday plan is developed, the board will review it during an open public meeting and decide whether to adopt, modify or reject it. Uintah Online will continue to be an option next year for students whose parents/guardians prefer online education over enrollment in a “brick and mortar” school.
