Supt. Oteri updated the members of the Malden School Committee at its meeting Monday night on plans for the reopening of schools and how it will look in the era of the Coronavirus pandemic. As the School Committee already voted earlier this month, Malden Public Schools (MPS) will be administering classes in a full Remote Learning Mode and instruction will begin on Monday, Sept. 16, Oteri said. “I’d like to thank everyone who has worked on the reopening planning and commend them for all of their eff orts,” Supt. Oteri said, noting the nonstop work that has gone on all summer from both his central administration cabinet, MPS directors, the School Re-Entry Advisory Task Force and many city offi - cials, including the members of the School Committee. “It has truly been a team effort, and we are grateful for the diligence, compassion and focus that everyone involved has contributed to this vitally important process,” Oteri said. The Superintendent said he and his staff were especially impressed and encouraged with the “unprecedented response” they received from a series of surveys and community listening sessions held to solicit feedback from caregivers and family members of the district’s nearly 7,000 students. “Their input was so valuable in assisting us SCHOOLS | SEE PAGE 8 AUTOTECH 1989 SINCE CA$H FOR YOUR CAR!
