Extended learning, tutoring and small-group instruction lead the way as schools work to accelerate—rather than remediate—to ward off COVID-era learning loss.

The school will shut down in-person learning from Thursday through Dec. 9, with each grade level returning for one day in that last week.

The former students, now men in their 40s and 50s, said they had been repeatedly molested by an English teacher and “dorm parent” at the boarding school from 1974 to 1994. 

The three school districts were among eight Florida districts that had implemented mask mandates in defiance of the administration of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
