Cincinnati Public Schools plans to phase back into in-person school starting in February.
Gov. Mark DeWine has said adults working in K-12 schools who want to return or remain educating in person can start receiving vaccines Feb. 1. The state’s goal is to have schools return to in-person learning by March 1.
The CPS Board of Education met Saturday morning to discuss what the district’s return to in-person learning would look like.
“Whether or not we get there depends on what happens along the way, but at least we have a starting point,” board president Carolyn Jones said.
In order to ensure that CPS staff is included in Phase 1B vaccinations in early February, the district will sign the “Notice of Intent” commitment form, required by the State of Ohio. This form indicates that the district will return to a learning model that includes some in-person learning by March.
