The Widefield, Harrison, Cheyenne Mountain, Manitou and Lewis Palmer school districts will postpone students physical return to classrooms in January after a recommendation from county health authorities to do so.

Adjusting return-to-learn dates for second semester is a conversation in which school leaders and public health are actively engaged, agency spokeswoman Michelle Hewitt said Wednesday.
