DOVER – Dover schools will continue with a remote learning model through at least Friday, Jan. 15 based on the current transmission level of COVID-19, according to school district officials.
Superintendent William Harbron sent out a letter to families on Thursday announcing there will not be any in-person instruction in Dover public schools until Tuesday, Jan. 19 at the earliest.
There are several Catholic and private schools in the Dover area offering in-person instruction.
Harbron stated the school district’s “COVID-19 Incident Command Team” will continue “to monitor the COVID-19 data at the state, county, local, and district level.”
“Based on the current data, the district will continue virtual learning through the week of Jan. 11 through Jan.15,” he said in the letter. “If the data indicates a safe return, Tuesday, Jan. 19 will be the target date for the return of in-person programs.”

Brainerd Public Schools is working on a plan to slowly reopen facilities and return its youngest learners to the classroom after Gov. Tim Walz announced updates to the state’s Safe Learning Plan Wednesday, Dec. 16.
Beginning Jan. 18, every elementary school across the state may choose to operate an in-person learning model without consulting their regional support team as long as they are able to implement all updated health and safety measures in the Safe Learning Plan. Walz attributed the shift to research showing children face a lower risk of developing severe symptoms from the coronavirus.
