SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Puerto Rico officials announced Monday that five grades will return to in-person classes next month as the U.S. territory prepares to reopen public schools for the first time in a year, causing some parents to worry about a potential increase in coronavirus cases.
Kindergarteners, special education students, and children in first, second, third and 12th grades are tentatively scheduled to be back in classrooms at certain schools March 3, said Elba Aponte, Puerto Ricoâs education secretary-designate.
âI recognize there is uncertainty among parents and the school community given the announcement of the upcoming reopening,â she said.
