City schools will remain on a hybrid schedule for at least the next few weeks, the school board has decided.
The board voted unanimously on Tuesday to continue with the arrangement where students alternate between days of in-class instruction and at-home assignments with teachers providing instructional assistance online.
The Laconia School District has been on a hybrid schedule since Nov. 23 because of increasing numbers of COVID-19 cases, both statewide and locally. Since then some of the schools in the system have had to shift to full-remote instruction temporarily because staff members or students who tested positive for the virus had been found to have been in contact with a significant number of people in the school and who then had to quarantine.
Under the hybrid schedule there are only half as many students in a school building at any one time as would normally be the case.
