Ducey claimed that the decision came under new guidance from the CDC, but the move has been derided by the state s top educator Kathy Hoffman who said it destabilizes school communities as they end what has arguably been the most challenging year for education.

Mother Kayla Svedin is observing the progress her daughter Sarah has made since joining a learning pod during their Feb. 24, 2021, class. Ah-ni-mal, 9-year-old Sarah sounded out under her breath.
