ANN ARBOR, MI - Wait, what just happened here?
If you found yourself asking that question during or after the Wednesday, Feb. 17 Ann Arbor School Board meeting, you probably aren’t alone.
After a long and confusing deliberation between board members, AAPS trustees voted 5-2 in favor of directing Superintendent Jeanice Swift to present a plan to them next week allowing instruction to remain virtual for the remainder of the 2020-21 year, with the exception of those students with the greatest needs.

Parents and doctors question Ann Arbor schools’ decision to keep students home rest of year
Parents are pushing for students to get back in class in-person, say not only is it safe, but it is also good for their emotional - and mental health. As far as this open letter goes, what we want is kind of simple, it s just tell us the truth, said Daniel Beard.
Some parents and physicians alike are urging Ann Arbor Public Schools to set clear target dates for restarting in-person learning. Beard helped write an open letter to the district Monday, asking that it commit to applying CDC recommended school reopening criteria and announce its plans for next year by April 15th. More than a thousand people have signed it.
