By Lori Higgins, Chalkbeat Detroit The Detroit school board voted Tuesday night to resume face-to-face instruction in district schools on Monday. The decision, which came on a unanimous vote, means students who want to learn in a physical classroom will be able to do so through the end of the school year in June. The decision, for now, also brings to a close a debate in the Detroit Public Schools Community District over providing in-person learning options for parents who want it for their children. That debate, and concerns about what then was a rapid rise in COVID-19 cases, led the board last month to suspend in-person instruction until its May school board meeting, with the only allowance being in cases where a teacher volunteers to teach in person with students who volunteer to come into a building.
