The superintendent added that their summer school classes have already implemented some of the elements listed above.

Last month, school officials released a report on the results of the Thoughtexchange survey. The report can be viewed on the school's website.

Administrators developed a FAQ posted on the school's website to address common questions they've received about the plans for fall.
