THE MEAN STREETS

By James Vaznis

GLOBE STAFF

School districts across Massachusetts will be al-
lowed to delay the opening day for students this fall
up to 10 days — and students won’t have to make
up the lost time — under a deal finalized Monday
that aims to give districts more time to prepare for
a safe return.

Under the deal — struck between state educa-
tion officials and the state’s three largest teacher
unions — districts can use the first 10 days of the
school year to provide teachers and staff with time
to redesign classroom lessons, learn techniques to
help students overcome trauma they may have ex-
perienced during the pandemic, and to learn an ar-
ray of new safety and health protocols developed to
keep students safe from the coronavirus.

“It’s going to be a new world for everyone,” said
Beth Kontos, president of the American Federation
of Teachers Massachusetts. “I just don’t see every-
thing getting done in time.”

The deal sets Sept. 16 as the latest students
should return to classes. That means districts that
were planning to resume classes before Labor Day,
which lands on Sept. 7 this year, will benefit the
most under the agreement, which loosens a state
rule requiring 180 days of classes, while districts
that were slated to reopen after the holiday, like
Boston, would lose fewer instructional days. How-
ever, districts can seek state approval to begin class-
es after the 16th.

The deal was signed by the AFT, the Massachu-
setts Teachers Association, and the Boston Teachers

Man arrested in fatal July 19 crash

A Brockton man was arrested Monday on charges stemming
from a crash that left an 87-year-old woman dead and several
others injured in Pembroke earlier this month, the Plymouth
County District Attorney’s Office said. Randy Campbell, 33, was
arrested from his hospital bed at South Shore Hospital on
charges of manslaughter by motor vehicle, felony, motor vehi-
cle homicide, operating under the influence of drugs causing
serious bodily injury, speeding, and operating to endanger, offi-
cials said. Around 9:30 a.m. on July 19, Campbell was allegedly
on Route 3 North when he hit a Volkswagen Tiguan. The driver
and passenger inside the Volkswagen were seriously injured
and taken to South Shore Hospital. The passenger, Nancy
Chamberlain of Quincy, was pronounced dead at the hospital.

bleak reality

We always knew it was a
house of cards. Now it’s
falling down.

The Marlins are in the
throes of a COVID-19 out-
break, with at least 11 play-
ers and two coaches testing
positive for the virus. Just
three games into this na-
scent baseball season, they postponed both
games of their home-opener series Monday and
Tuesday in Florida. The Yankees-Phillies game in
Philadelphia also was postponed, since the Mar-
lins apparently left the clubhouse there a corona-
virus hot zone.
Four days into the truncated, compressed
schedule and we’re already two games down, and
that’s not all the virus is doing to disrupt base-
ball’s return to action. Here at home, the Red Sox
are without ace Eduardo Rodriguez because his
recovery from COVID-19 was set back by myo-
carditis, inflammation of the heart muscle that’s
an occasional complication of a viral infection.
