The Rochester City School District released its reopening plan at a school board meeting Thursday evening. 

Under the proposal, Superintendent Dr. Lesli-Myers Small says Pre-K through 4th-grade students would have hybrid learning, two days of in-person learning, and three days of distance learning, with students split into two groups, alternating days in the classroom. 

That hybrid model also goes for K-through-12 students with special needs.

Those in grades 5-12 would have online-only schooling.

The superintendent acknowledged the sacrifices that will have to be made under this proposal. 

“I have to make a choice, and I’m not going to be able to see my 83-year-old mom because I’m gonna be out and about when school starts with the hybrid model, so I won’t be able to physically see her anymore and that’s hard for me," said Myers-Small.

Parents will have the choice to have their child take part in the online-only method, and will have until August 14 to let the district know.

A plan for the district plus individual plans for all 60 schools will be submitted to the state Friday, and Governor Cuomo is expected to decide sometime next week on whether schools can return.
