SCRANTON, Pa. The Scranton School District is one of the last districts in our area to finalize a plan to get students back in the classroom. Classes have been virtual there since last March.
Students in the district still don t know when they ll finally walk through the doors of their school again and sit at a desk in front of a teacher.
This week, the school board scrapped a plan to bring kids back to the classroom in March after more than 50 teachers said they d be unable to fulfill their duties in-person due to health-related concerns.
