The Lansing School District is once again delaying the start of its in-person learning.
In a message Wednesday, the school district said it was pushing back the start of the SOAR program from March 29 to April 12 after spring break.
The LSD says this is due to COVID-19 metrics not meeting the district’s requirements.
Schools that were scheduled to start on either March 22, 29, or April 12 will all now begin on April 12.
All other schools will start on their scheduled dates, April 19 and 26.

KCP Visiting Professor Program
The Martin Luther King, Jr.; César Chávez; Rosa Parks (KCP) Visiting Professors Program was created by the Michigan State Legislature in 1986 as part of the King, Chávez, Parks Initiative. The intent is to prevent the decrease of college graduation rates for academically or economically disadvantaged students in postsecondary education. The State of Michigan’s KCP Visiting Professors Program is intended to augment the number of instructors in higher education institutions in the State representing diverse groups. Preference may not be given to a visiting faculty on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, gender, or national origin. Institutions should encourage applications from applicants who would otherwise not be adequately represented in the faculty.
