FUSD ‘Reaffirms’ Dates For Return To In-Person Learning
The Flagstaff Unified School District Governing Board has approved several dates for a return to in-person learning. The phased return will begin after the district’s spring break. Students in kindergarten, first through third grade, along with some high school students, will return the week of March 22. Students in fourth through eighth grade, and other high school classes will return the week of March 29.
The Governing Board says it amended some benchmarks used to determine the return to in-person learning shifting to benchmarks set by the Arizona Department of Health Services. The board said a return to the classroom under the new benchmarks was appropriate. As of March 19, FUSD reported a substantial level of COVID-19 cases, a substantial level of percent positivity, and a moderate level of COVID-like illness.

Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez also reminded residents that the nation s Public Health Emergency Order is still in effect through Jan. 25.
The order includes extensions of the stay-at-home lockdown, the re-implementation of the 57-hour weekend lockdowns and guidance to refrain from large gatherings.
“With more and more reports of the COVID-19 variant being reported in various regions, we must continue to take all precautions, Nez said. I am hopeful that we are beginning to see a downward trend, but that depends on the actions of all of us. We all have a part to play in bringing down the numbers of new COVID-19 cases. Stay strong and keep fighting. We are in this together.
