PITTSBURGH — We are learning how Pittsburgh Public Schools are preparing to reopen their school campuses.
On Monday, a select group of students will return – following weeks of virtual learning.
Since March, schools have been closed to in-person learning to keep students and staff safe due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the district, 800 students out of 23,000 will be welcomed back.Students with special needs and those who are considered medically fragile will be the first to return.
“Safety comes first. That’s what we have to go by right now. It’s unfortunate, but we are doing the best we can under the current circumstances. Please bear with us. Hopefully, we will get a vaccine soon, and we can go back to a bit of normalcy. But, if not – we are doing the best we can to educate our students,” said Dr. Anthony Hamlet, superintendent of Pittsburgh Public Schools.
