The Lincoln School Board held a special meeting on Tuesday, Apr 27 to discuss schooling through the end of the year and graduation.
"Due to the restrictions imposed on schools if they wish to reopen, to the safety and acclimation of students, and to the impact on families with high risk students or family members, the School Board approved to extend online schooling through the end of the school year," Superintendent Jennifer Packer wrote in an email update after the meeting.
The school year will end early, on June 1, according to the email. Last week, students began attending school on Fridays to allow for the early release date. Under normal circumstances, Lincoln Schools observe a four-day, Monday–Thursday school week.
Graduation was originally planned for June 6. Packer wrote that the board continues to discuss plans for holding graduation on that date. One idea would be to use a 36-foot-wide LED screen and FM transmitter to hold graduation on the football field, she wrote. No final decision has been made yet.
