Plan in the works for educating area kids.

GOGEBIC COUNTY – Friday is the deadline for school districts to submit to the state how they plan to educate students who will be without face-to-face education for the rest of the school year because of the COVID-19 virus. With that in mind, the school superintendents and principals within the Gogebic-Ontonagon Intermediate School District are meeting this week with GOISD officials to devise a plan.  The districts will then meet with teachers to continue to develop a plan for the rest of the school year.  All of the school districts will follow a similar general plan, but there will be some action that will be specific for each school.  Students will not return to the school this semester, all students who had satisfied the necessary requirements up to the date schools were called off will advance a grade, and seniors will graduate and receive a diploma.  If there are children who need to retrieve something from the school or use the computer there, there cannot be more than three students at a time and they must keep the necessary distance, according to the rules set down by the Governor’s orders.
