AAPS spokesman Andrew Cluley says alternative options will be made available for families who are not comfortable with sending their children back to class yet.
“We will still have some virtual options for families that want that. However, we will not be using a hybrid instruction model in Ann Arbor Public Schools this fall,” Cluley says.
Cluley says they are still working out all the details and will be sharing more information with the public through a series of virtual information sessions over the next two weeks.

Ann Arbor is about a month into a hybrid school format for younger grades, where students, by their parent or caregiver s choice, attend school in-person a few days a week.
At least 400,000 students across Michigan are learning in districts offering hybrid school options, according to Michigan State University data from March. Depending on the district, the model puts some students back in school in-person, at least for a few days of the week, while allowing others to remain remote by choice amid a statewide spike in COVID-19 cases.

ANN ARBOR, MI – A hearing will determine how much restitution an Ann Arbor Public Schools janitor at the center of allegations in a lawsuit filed by an elementary school principal will need to pay as part of a no contest plea in a case alleging he stole nearly $25,000 from the district.
