“WORCESTER — The city's request to delay full-time in-person learning until May 3 was approved by state Education Commissioner Jeffrey Riley Wednesday. The state is requiring all elementary schools to return to in-person learning five days a week April 5 and middle schools by April 28. However, Superintendent Maureen Binienda successfully argued that Worcester needs more time to make the jump to full-time in-person learning. Binienda's request was backed by the School Committee.” - Telegram & Gazette
