WORCESTER, Mass. - Worcester's School Committee discussed options Thursday night for remote learning when the city cancels school for weather, like they did Friday.

As of now, students are still required to have 180 days of in-person learning under the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education guidelines. Since the remote learning option would not count as a school day of learning that can be accounted for as a make up, it is not an option that would save some days in the summer, but that doesn't mean students won't have the opportunity to learn. 

Superintendent Rachel Monarrez laid out what she hopes will be implemented to offer students a chance to gain knowledge while stuck at home. 

"What we did discuss as a team is to start with setting up a web page at the district level that takes all of these web-based programs that we have for students and have it available for families if they want to have their child go on and log in to these when we have inclement weather," Monarrez said at Thursday's committee meeting.

There is no timeline yet for when the committee hopes to have these resources available.
