• H. S. West, Superintendent of Schools, explains that school hours lost during the epidemic will be impossible to fully replace. There will be fewer school holidays than under normal circumstances as the public school system attempts to complete educational objectives.• The logic for minimizing the number of school holidays, as opposed to taking other actions, is explained thoroughly.• It may be difficult to find adequate teaching staff because so many teachers have adopted health-related jobs and volunteer positions during the epidemic.Newspaper article1
