The Lansing School District is once again delaying the start of its in-person learning.
In a message Wednesday, the school district said it was pushing back the start of the SOAR program from March 29 to April 12 after spring break.
The LSD says this is due to COVID-19 metrics not meeting the district’s requirements.
Schools that were scheduled to start on either March 22, 29, or April 12 will all now begin on April 12.
All other schools will start on their scheduled dates, April 19 and 26.
