Under the hybrid reopening plan of the Katonah-Lewisboro School District, all
students will have at-home teaching on Wednesday, not Friday as reported here. Also,
in a change from the district’s original plan, Cohort A students will learn in class-
rooms Monday and Tuesday and be home for the rest of the school week; Cohort B
will be at home Monday through Wednesday and in school the remaining two days.
