COVID-19 cases in the county have stayed low since Labor Day, prompting some school districts to bring students back into class, writes Pete Bannan for the Daily Times.

“Given that the health data for our district and county continue to improve, we are planning to begin bringing back students for hybrid learning,” Garnet Valley Superintendent Dr. Marc Bertrando wrote in an email Tuesday.

Garnet Valley will start Sept. 21 with five students in Concord’s Multiple Disabilities Support program.

The following week Kindergarten through second grade, and 80 special education students will return.

Grades 3-5 return Oct. 13 with a hybrid schedule, with grades 6-12 returning for in-person instruction Oct. 19.

In Chichester, “low incident” special education students will return in-school next week.

Radnor started full day, in-person instruction this week for selected special education students.

Its school board is considering a staggered return of all students to in-person schooling before Oct. 9.

The Penn-Delco School District plans to bring students back the first or second week of October using a phased strategy.

Haverford School District School Board will examine the data at a Sept. 21 meeting to see if returning to in-person instruction will work.
