Oliver Citywide Academy to continue remote instruction through October 17
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Pittsburgh Oliver Citywide Academy is extending remote instruction for students once again.
This development comes after a 15-year-old student assaulted a teacher there last week.
Remote instruction will continue through Oct. 17.
The district said they want to give teachers and staff more time to prepare for the return of in-person learning, as they're still addressing the trauma and mental health needs following the assault.
The student involved has been charged and remains in a juvenile facility.
The district said there will also be new safety measures in place including a revised enrollment process, an additional security guard and two-way radios.
