Students in the Maricopa Unified School District will be able to return the classroom on Monday.
But the situation is “volatile,” cautioned Superintendent Dr. Tracey Lopeman, with the number of student and staff coronavirus cases at several district schools making it possible quarantine will force a short-term return to distance learning.
The Governing Board voted, 3-0, on Wednesday night to accept Lopeman’s recommendation to allow students opting for in-school learning to go back to class. Board member Torri Anderson did not attend the meeting.
Distance learning, for students and families who have opted for that mode of instruction, will continue through the end of the school year.

When voters in 2016 approved a 10% budget override for students in the Maricopa Unified School District, they had little idea just how vital the additional funding would become four years later.
Since its approval, the seven-year budget override has generated enough revenue to implement a number of initiatives aimed at improving the quality of education.
Notably, it facilitated the hiring of new teachers that decreased elementary class sizes from the mid-30s to the mid-20s.

When school resumes after Winter Break, students in the Maricopa Unified School District will be distance-learning â for the first week at least.
That was the unanimous decision Thursday night by the MUSD Governing Board, which met in special session to consider the latest COVID-19 transmission data and decide how students will learn.
Board members agreed their decisions should be data-driven. But there is one issue with the data provided by Pinal County. It is two weeks old when the board gets it.
