Bedford Public Schools issued the following announcement.
Dear Bedford Public Schools Parents/Guardians,
As we start Halloween weekend and the end of our eighth week of school, I would like to begin by thanking all of our staff members for working together and our parents and students for hanging in there over these past several weeks. On Wednesday evening, I communicated to our families and staff that we would need to temporarily transition our Bedford High School Learning Program to a full-virtual model for minimally the remainder of the school week. I am pleased to be able to share that BHS will be reopening for in-person cohort model learning on Monday, November 2, 2020.
As described in my recent email, BHS was forced to transition to full-virtual learning due to a positive staff related COVID-19 case. In addition to the positive case, eight additional staff members were placed in a 14-day quarantine resulting in the district’s inability to facilitate in-person learning under state and federal requirements. However, through flexibility and teamwork we have been able to successfully work out the details of a revised plan that will allow the building to once again be available for students that elect to learn onsite. I thank those individuals who have helped in this process.
Unfortunately, the district will not be able to hold our next three scheduled food service pick-up days. BPS Food Service pick-up for our virtual learners will resume on Thursday, November 12, 2020. To assist our families that are learning virtually with this need, BPS has partnered with some of our neighboring districts to welcome our families to participate in their programs until we are able to resume service. The dates and times for these available options will be posted on the BPS Website and our social media sites soon.
Thank you, and I hope that everyone has a safe and mindful holiday weekend.
Dr. Carl Shultz
Superintendent, Bedford Public Schools
