Lake Elsinore Unified School District today announced its intent to reopen on August 12 in a full distance learning model with the goal of phasing to in-person learning via hybrid model and potentially full traditional learning later during the school year.
“This plan of action has not been reached lightly,” the district said in a statement. “All possible options for opening our schools in a safe manner have been thoroughly considered. The only safe option at this time is a temporary full distance learning option. When it is safe to move into a hybrid model or full traditional instruction during the 2020-21 school year, that is our intent.”
Students will receive instruction and content five days a week in a virtual format. All content and instruction will be mandatory, graded, and aligned to grade-level standards. Support will be provided for English learners, students with disabilities, foster students, and homeless youth.
