Hainesport chief details limited return to in-person classes beginning March 22; broader changes tied to state guidance
Summary
Hainesport chief school administrator Joseph R. Corn told the board the district will start three full in-person days March 22, 2021, while saying any expansion beyond that depends on state changes to distancing guidance and continued coordination with the Burlington County health department.
Joseph R. Corn, chief school administrator for the Hainesport Township School District, told the board at its March 18 virtual meeting that the district will begin three full days of in-person instruction starting March 22, 2021.
Corn said there are 59 school days remaining in the 2020–21 school year and that about 60% of district staff/facilities had been vaccinated. He told trustees the district is following Burlington County health department recommendations and that broader increases in in-person time would require the governor to relax state executive orders — specifically the 6-foot distancing requirement between students.
The superintendent’s update was presented as part of the superintendent’s report and tied to multiple action items on the agenda, including the district’s Restart and Recovery Plan. The board recorded several routine approvals after the update.
The district also reminded families of spring-recess dates and that any change to full in-person schedules remains contingent on state guidance and public-health metrics.
