DETROIT (WWJ) -- Online learning has been extended by one week for Detroit Public School students.
Superintendent Dr. Nikolai Vitti announced this extension Wednesday night, adding that students will return to the classroom on Monday, Jan. 31.
The move to remote learning began at the start of the new year as the number of COVID-19 cases spiked across Detroit.
The district will require COVID testing for students and staff in preparation for in-person learning. Testing consent forms are also required to be on file for students to return to the classroom.
There will be testing locations set up this Saturday and Monday through Wednesday. The schedule for these locations is expected to be shared soon by administration.
