Aurora’s school board on Friday asked to change its districtap fall reopening plan to start school online.
The new plan would have students learning remotely, not just for a minimum of two weeks as other districts have done, but for the entire first quarter.
“If we have this many questions left unanswered, I’m going to go out and say we’re not ready to start face-to-face learning,” board member Vicki Reinhard said. “I believe itap risky.”
Rico Munn, Aurora’s superintendent, challenged the notion that the district wasn’t ready for school to restart and commended his staff for creating detailed plans. But this week he also has voiced concerns about the level of community transmission of the coronavirus.
