Gov. Doug Ducey has issued an executive order that requires Arizona schools offer in-person learning later this month.
Under the order, schools must start in-person learning by March 15 or after their spring breaks.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and numerous health officials have said it’s safe for kids to be back in classrooms, and the state has prioritized teachers in its vaccine distribution, Ducey said in a Tuesday press release announcing the order.
