FERNDALE Many school districts in Michigan had to make a decision by March 22 whether or not to offer a full-time, in-person option for students.
Earlier in March, the Michigan Legislature passed a bill later signed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer that offered federal dollars to school districts that provided 20 hours of in-person instruction each week.
Ferndale Public Schools recently began offering a hybrid model for students who wished to have some in-person instruction, in addition to virtual instruction. Students at Ferndale’s Early Childhood Center, Lower Elementary and Upper Elementary schools were allowed to return March 1; children at Ferndale Middle School were allowed back March 8; and students at Ferndale High School, University High School and the Tri-County Education Center could return March 15.
