Des Plaines-based East Maine School District 63 will resume offering its students in-person education programs starting Jan. 19, officials announced Monday.
Students in the district s seven facilities have spent recent months learning remotely, as have students in most suburban public school districts, because of the COVID-19 crisis. Moving forward, families can choose to participate in remote learning or a hybrid program in which students are on campus in the mornings and learn remotely in the afternoons.
