New Hampshire’s largest teacher’s union says before schools reopen, districts need full staffing and funding, a phased reopening plan, and health and safety agreements for staff and students.
The steps released Wednesday also include requirements for staff assignments and learning arrangements, and computers and internet access for all. Union president Meagan Tuttle had criticized the state’s guidelines, saying they did very little to keep students and staff safe from the coronavirus.
The state is leaving it up to each school district to decide whether to fully return to the classroom, continue with remote learning or develop hybrid models. Gov. Chris Sununu emphasized the need for flexibility.
