Most Brewer students this fall will return to school in person two days a week and continue learning remotely the other three days. Students will be divided into two groups, and each group will attend in person two days, with all state-prescribed safety protocols — such as masks and social distancing — in place under the plan Brewer Superintendent Gregg Palmer presented to the city’s school committee Monday evening. One group will attend school Monday and Thursday, and the other group will attend Tuesday and Friday.
