Jamestown  (CSi)  A number of  Jamestown Public Schools teachers and staff  have presented a signed a letter to the Jamestown Public School Board expressing their concerns of face-to-face learning amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

High School Teacher Shelly Moltzen said in part that due to the current environment and increase in cases, they’re not in agreement with the return to face-to-face learning in the High School on November 16th.

She adds, the teacher, signing the letter,  support continuing the hybrid learning model through the rest of the year and addressing a change for next semester.

Board member Bob Toso said if the public wanted to have their students back in school full-time, it relates to taking personal responsibility.

Superintendent Dr. Robert Lech said when  making a decision, there would always be those who disagree with what’s decided upon.

The Jamestown Public School Board has directed the Instructional Plan Review Team to meet and discuss the plan decision and provide a recommendation at a special board meeting on Monday, November 9 at 5:15 p.m.
