Thursday at the State House, the pair once again encouraged school districts to go fully in person, saying they have the resources to operate full-time. In fact, Superintendent Spearman rescinded the AccelerateED guidance — that based schooling decisions on community spread of covid-19 saying schools are not the super-spreaders they were once believed to be.
