PHILADELPHIA - The School District of Philadelphia has delayed its plan to welcome a limited number of students back into classrooms by a week as a third-party review of the district's safety protocols continues, Superintendent Hite announced Wednesday.Starting March 1, pre-k to 2nd grade students who opted for the hybrid learning model back in the fall will report to school two days a week.
The setback comes after the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers (PFT) protested the district's readiness to restart in-person learning amid the coronavirus pandemic.
