About 5,000 students in grades 1-6 in the Binyamin Regional Council returned to school this morning.
The transportation system also operated without difficulties. Preparations are now underway to expand to grades 11-12.
Mayor Yisrael Gantz is visiting the schools at this time to keep a close eye on the students' preparation and absorption. "We have wonderful and dedicated educational teams. The early organization throughout the past week has led to a smooth opening."
