| | JCSC continues online learning | "We are trying to be cautious and conservative." That is the new mantra for Teresa Brown, superintendent of the Jennings County Schools Corporation.
With in-school instruction suspended through the remainder of the 2019-20 school year, Brown said the district will continue it's online learning program at least through April 30.
Gov. Eric J. Holcomb on Friday announced that districts must find a way to meet the state mandated 160 days of instruction before the school year officially ends in May.
Because the district decided not to take advantage of the 20 waiver days allowed by the state, and the district has initiated online learning on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays since March 16, with the exception of spring break, which was March 23-27, Jennings schools are on track to have met the mandate as soon as April 30, Brown said Monday.
"I have a great team," she added. "Nothing is done in isolation."
In the meantime, Brown has met regularly on the district's Google Meet platform with her staff, administrators, teachers and board members. Brown also has been networking with superintendents from other school districts.
