A Message From Executive Director Steve Furtado, Ph.D.
First, the Board of Trustees and I have decided to begin winter vacation earlier than scheduled. Therefore, the last day of school before the winter vacation is Friday, December 18, 2020. We will return to our normal academic schedule on Monday, January 4, 2021.
Second, as we approach the next remote learning deadline I want to update you regarding our next steps. Our decisions are based on the data we receive from the Department of Public Health and the Center for Disease Control. We have watched the number of Covid-19 cases increase significantly in New Bedford and throughout the State. This second surge is troubling and the number of cases could continue to increase throughout the holiday season. New Bedford continues to be in the “red zone”. Given this information GLCPS will remain remote through January 31.
