The Norwalk Public Schools Re-Opening Task Force has been established to address critical areas in regards to the re-opening of school this fall. The Task Force brings together district and school leaders, teachers, paraprofessionals, parents and community partners who comprise 11 subcommittees. It is anticipated that decisions of the Task Force, while applied to the unique circumstances of Norwalk’s schools, will follow the guidance and parameters contained in the statewide plan.

Recordings of Task Force meetings are available on the NPS YouTube channel.

The 11 subcommittees have been meeting two to three times per week over the past several weeks to provide input into the district’s re-opening proposal to the State, and later meet approximately once per week until the start of the school year. Meetings will be via videoconference or in-person if public health conditions allow.

Watch for more updates next week about the work that the subcommittees have been doing.
