DEMING – Deming public school students will not return to classrooms or athletic fields during the current academic year due to the coronavirus.
Public Education Secretary Ryan Stewart made the announcement affecting all New Mexico schools Friday in a news teleconference.
Stewart said schools will not be required to make up the missed instructional days between March 16th and April 3rd, but for the remaining weeks of the school year to be waived, districts must develop both technology-based and non-technology-based continuous learning plans.
He said students are likely to be graded for coursework completed at home on a pass-fail basis.
High school seniors will be able to graduate through a “demonstration of competency” that may include a series of assignments and tests including a college entrance exam.
A stay-at-home order remains in effect across New Mexico with exceptions for essential tasks and businesses.
Deming teachers will be communicating with students and families to get assignments to the students.
