Cherry Hill School Board To Discuss Fall 2021 Plans Tuesday

CHERRY HILL, NJ — The Cherry Hill Public School District will provide more details on its plan for a full return to in-person learning in the fall for the 2021-22 school year at Tuesday night’s board of education meeting.

Tuesday is also the day all hybrid learners at all grade levels were scheduled to return to in-person learning four days a week.

Currently, Cherry Hill students enrolled in the district's hybrid model are in school two days a week and learn remotely the other three.

The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday evening, and residents will be able to watch and participate virtually. Instructions for logging on to the virtual meeting are available on the district’s website.

A video recording of the meeting will also be posted on the school district’s YouTube channel on Wednesday.

Schools across the state closed in March of last year to help prevent the further spread of the coronavirus, but most never fully returned to in-person learning. Even with the introduction of three vaccines, Cherry Hill Superintendent Joseph Meloche said last week that he expects some families will want to continue with full-remote learning next year.

"There are still going to be some families and some children who, for a variety of reasons, still may not feel comfortable sending their children back," Meloche said.
