Distance learning will continue for summer school in the Marshall Public School District.
According to unofficial minutes from the school board meeting on Tuesday, May 26, Director of Curriculum and Instruction Diane Gillaspie reported summer school is being planned for June 1 through 26 for MHS, and the district will be offering credit recovery in all core areas.
The district also will be offering personal finance and health to students who would like to attain these credits. Credit recovery can be a full or half-day, depending on the number of credits needed, and personal finance and health will be a half-day.
Summer school will be hosted through Google classroom for students who have a laptop or choose to check out a device from the district. Google classroom will be the academic platform for all instruction.
Online instruction will occur at minimum (whole group) three times a week. The teacher will then have small group and individual feedback and instruction during assigned classroom time with all enrolled students.
Students who do not have Wi-Fi or computer access will be provided work packets. These will be distributed and collected at the high school weekly for feedback. The students who utilize the paper-packet route of instruction also will have frequent phone-call feedback/assistance with their teacher.
Summer school grades will be pass/fail. No letter grades will be given.
Teachers currently are submitting letters of interest to teach summer school to MHS Principal Ian Verts, and pay will be $3,000/full day.
The board voted to approve the summer school proposal.
