The district has not said where the rumors originated but wanted to let parents know the decision to have in-person learning or virtual learning was out of their hands.
Parents responded to the district’s post. While some were disappointed the rumor was not true, others said they were relieved kids were staying in school because they had already paid fees for extra-curricular activities.
