A public school district in Kansas has modified its plans to move from online classes to having students attend in person part of the week because of concerns expressed by teachers and other staff.
The Lawrence district plans to have its high school students attend in-person classes only one day a week, instead of the two days initially planned. Students in lower grades will have in-person classes two days a week, but the school board decided late Monday to delay that until Nov. 9 for elementary schools.
The district’s decisions come with Kansas reporting nearly 68,000 confirmed and probable coronavirus cases for the pandemic.
