OMAHA – Omaha Public Schools is busy working in an effort to resume classes this fall. OPS has a strategy that “aims to address student and staff health needs, bolster academic instruction from the spring and pay heed to students’ emotional health.

Superintendent Cheryl Logan said, “It is really important for us to be back in school.” However, OPS won’t be able to bring all students back to class on the same days, given the coronavirus threat, crowded buildings and the district’s large population of 54,000 students. Instead, the district will reduce the number of students in the classroom by half by using a combination of in-class instruction on certain days and remote learning on others.

Such accommodations show the need for flexibility — and for further adjustments to meet ever-changing conditions.
