There will be a few more students physically at Ames schools Monday than before, as a new state law promoting in-person learning amid the COVID-19 pandemic takes effect, but Ames Community School District says it is ready to continue to safely accommodate students in classrooms.
Monday s changes also come as the district gauges families interest for remote learning for next year.
Gov. Kim Reynolds signed in January a law that requires Iowa school districts to offer a 100% in-person learning model for their students.
Some districts around the state, such as Des Moines and Iowa City, have subsequently had to prepare for thousands of students returning to classrooms Monday.
