HSE Schools planning on-time, in-person school start in August, with online option

Dr. Bourff

Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) Schools plan to start the school year on-time, in person, with an option for e-learning.   HSE Spokesperson Emily Abbotts points to a Skylert issued June 19th by Superintendent Allen Bourff.

“Our underlying goal is for students to report to their respective schools on August 5 as scheduled,” Bourff wrote in the Skylert message. “Provisions will be made for students who are unable to attend under current circumstances.”

Any school reopening plan will be reviewed by the health department and will be the subject of talks with the local teachers association before it is final.

A committee has been working on the details of plans to reopen HSE Schools in August.

Dr. Bourff is expected to provide an update on the status of the committee’s work at Wednesday night’s regular school board meeting.

The high school graduation ceremonies are still scheduled at the respective high school football fields.  Fishers High School is scheduled to stage graduation July 10, HSE High School July 11.  This assumes Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb will go to Stage 5 in the reopening plans by then….if the governor does not implement Stage 5 by the time of the graduations dates, the ceremonies will be cancelled.
