Some parents whose children have been away from the classroom for nearly a year said they were angry with the district’s decision. Others said they agreed that, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, it was the safest option for students and staff despite the struggles of virtual learning.
The district has been in a virtual-only mode since the beginning of the pandemic. KPS is the only district in Kalamazoo County who remains virtual mode with no plans to return to the classroom this school year.
