School districts are working to develop meal plans for students and will be sending out information about that, as well as how students can keep up on their schoolwork.

“Districts will be putting together plans to keep students engaged and districts will be having staff report in different districts,” he said.

“This is going to be a district-by-district plan. Districts are currently making those plans and I expect there will be more information coming out this weekend,” he added.

Saturday was the first time that local superintendents had a chance to discuss the issue as a group, according to Dexter. There are still more questions to be answered, for example what happens with the state English and math tests for grades three through eight.

“We’re trying to make the overall decision about the overall public health of our community and we’re going to have to sort through a lot of questions,” he said. “We have to take it one step at a time. We’re in completely uncharted waters.”
