Byler says that the transition will begin on February 1 with a hybrid schedule that will add more students each day. On Friday, all students will report to middle and high schools.
Byler says that most COVID-19 infections have taken place outside of schools. He mentions a report from the CDC that recommends students return to school due to emotional distress.
"It may not be a popular decision but it is a decision that is in the best interest of our students learning," Byler said.
