SALT LAKE CITY â The Salt Lake City School District is preparing to bring students back to the classroom in February. SLCSD is the only district in the state to currently not offer in-person learning options.
The Salt Lake City School Board voted to allow secondary students to return to in-person learning in a hybrid style beginning February 8.
This is the same date elementary school students are expected to return for in-person learning. Secondary students will return to the classroom two days a week and then will remain online for the remaining three days.
