ANN ARBOR, MI - Parents are expressing a mix of optimism and frustration with Ann Arbor Public Schools’ targeted timeframe for a return to in-person classes, with some remaining skeptical the district is holding off on committing to a return date.
Some parents said they are frustrated with AAPS’ announcement it is targeting bringing students back for in-person classes in a hybrid format in early March, claiming its caveats of “significant progress” in vaccinating school personnel and a reduction in community COVID-19 infections are another example of it “moving the goalposts,” to further delay the return of face-to-face learning.
