While the virus continues to surge in the Bay State, four Boston Public Schools resumed in-person learning on Monday for students with complex disabilities.
The district worked with teachers, school officials and public health officials to finalize the reopening plans for the Carter School, the McKinley School, the Horace Mann School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and the Henderson Inclusion School, a representative for Boston Public Schools said last week. All four schools also received approval to reopen from the Boston Public Health Commission.
Meanwhile, Fitchburg State University students are scrambling to make plans as dorms close and classes move online due to a spike in coronavirus cases in the city.

The spring semester will start Jan. 25, a week later than originally planned.
Babson College in Wellesley also moved classes online effective Friday, after a spike in cases there.
