Superintendent’s Update: Virtual Medical Forum

Good afternoon,

This is Superintendent Binienda. Thank you for joining us on Monday and Wednesday night last week as we presented the preliminary school re-opening models. As discussed in these forums, there will be a Virtual Medical Forum on Wednesday, July 29 from 5:30-7pm. Our medical consultants will provide the most updated guidance on a safe school re-opening. This forum will not include call in questions. All questions should be submitted on the WPS website by Monday, July 27 at 4:30pm. Information for both submitting the medical questions and obtaining the zoom link can be found on the yellow ribbon located on the WPS website worcesterschools.org.
