Ann Arbor schools are preparing for their four-stage hybrid return to in-person learning starting with the youngest students on March 25th. A big step forward was this week s staff meetings that took place in school buildings to test technology, become familiar with key strategies, and make ready for students to return to classrooms.
Director of Communications for Ann Arbor Schools Andrew Cluley says a vital component is information.
Most, if not all, of the elementary schools have already now had their sort of information session to share with the families as they re trying to make their decision whether or not they want to send their kids back for in-person hybrid or whether or not they feel that it s still time to stay as virtual.
Chicago's teachers union was reviewing a compromise COVID-19 safety proposal on Monday that could allow in-person classes to resume this week, as Philadelphia agreed to let a mediator decide when school buildings could safely reopen.
