A town hall webinar will be streamed on the Norwalk Public Schools’ YouTube channel from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. this evening to answer questions regarding the start of the 2021-2022 school year under pandemic conditions at the city’s public schools. Superintendent Dr. Alexandra Estrella will attempt to address the concerns of families.
Estrella will inform the community about the state’s requirement for masks in school and its direction that all schools return to in-person instruction.
The town hall webinar will be recorded and available on the school’s YouTube channel for later viewing. A live interpretation will also be available in Spanish and Haitian Creole.
Gov. Ned Lamont announced on Tuesday that face masks will be mandatory in Connecticut K-12 schools for at least the first month of the academic year.
The governor’s executive order expires on Sept. 30, but the mask mandate may likely be renewed.
