One school year over, Berlin board awaits for guidelines for coming year

BERLIN — The Berlin School Board discussed a variety of end-of-school items at its meeting last week as the district awaits state recommendations before deciding whether Berlin schools will open in the fall or remote learning will continue.

Superintendent of Schools Julie King said she expects it will be mid-July before the school district hears from the state Department of Education on guidelines for the fall. The state Department of Education is collecting information from districts across the state and it prepares statewide recommendations.
