GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – The Green Bay Area Public School District will hold a special board meeting on Tuesday to reconsider its gating criteria regarding a potential return to the classroom amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Many parents have been asking the school board to allow more in-person learning. A recent survey found 60% of families prefer in-person learning.
Currently, the district is holding all virtual classes but the school board has been meeting regularly to discuss the criteria for when students can return to school.
On Thursday, State Rep. John Macco (R-Ledgeview), State Rep. David Steffen (R-Howard), and State Sen. Eric Wimberger (R-Green Bay) released a statement, claiming Green Bay School Board President Eric Vanden Heuvel hopes to have in-person learning resume sometime in the next four weeks.
