With the coronavirus pandemic causing much uncertainty around group gatherings, schools have faced challenges when deciding how they were going to operate when students return in the coming months.
As new hot spots emerge and coronavirus cases increasing among children, many schools are opting for remote learning options for their kids, hoping to curb the spread of the virus in the classroom setting.
Here are some major cities that are choosing to go the route of non-traditional learning styles for the sake of their students and staff, according to CNN:
