GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — The Diocese of Green Bay Office of Catholic Schools guidelines for the 2021-22 school year have been developed for all 54 schools.
"As we look ahead, we want to provide the best quality education possible for our students," Todd Blahnik, superintendent of Catholic schools for the Diocese of Green Bay. "That is not just academically, but emotionally and from a spiritual perspective as well."
While a lot could happen between now and the start of the school year, Blahnik said the plan in a nutshell is to get back to as close to normal as possible while still keeping everyone as safe as possible.
Every campus will work on its own guidelines based on their individual schools, according to Blahnik. In-person education will be provided, but masks and other precautions will vary by individual school.
“We learned a lot this past year,” Blahnik said. “More importantly, there is now scientific research that shows the level of spread by school age students is currently minimal. This has allowed us to use the plans we created last year, and just make adjustments based on the current data.”
