Students in the Maricopa Unified School District will be able to return the classroom on Monday.
But the situation is “volatile,” cautioned Superintendent Dr. Tracey Lopeman, with the number of student and staff coronavirus cases at several district schools making it possible quarantine will force a short-term return to distance learning.
The Governing Board voted, 3-0, on Wednesday night to accept Lopeman’s recommendation to allow students opting for in-school learning to go back to class. Board member Torri Anderson did not attend the meeting.
Distance learning, for students and families who have opted for that mode of instruction, will continue through the end of the school year.
