Norwin parents to protest district’s hybrid back-to-school plan

IRWIN, Pa. — Some parents in the Norwin School District are planning to protest the district's back-to-school plan.

The parents want students to return to in-person classes five days a week instead of two, according to our partners at TribLIVE.

Around 600 people have signed a petition asking the district to reconsider the hybrid plan the school board approved last week.

Students can also opt for online learning or attend the district's online academy.
