PHOENIX One year after the governor and state superintendent announced they were closing in-person learning in 2020, an executive order will try to put kids back in the classroom.
Earlier this month, Gov. Doug Ducey issued an executive order requiring almost all schools to have an in-person option by March 15.
The impact will be limited, as many schools already offer an in-person option, while others, like Phoenix Union, were planning on returning on Monday anyway.
