Paul Peterson: We’re tracking two-week data, we’re tracking 14-day trends, but we’re also looking at our internal numbers, and we saw such a nice decline in last week’s numbers, knowing full well where those numbers were going to be today, we didn’t see a reason to wait another week before bringing kids back.

MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) Many parents want their kids back in school full-time.
Less than 24 hours ago, local parents created a Facebook group dedicated to letting community members voice concerns about Mankato Area Public Schools’ decision to delay the transition from distance to hybrid learning.
“We understand the frustration,” said Stacy Wells, communications director at Mankato Area Public Schools. “We would like to have our students back as well, so we understand that they are just looking for a platform and a way to kind of share how they are feeling. So, we respect that.”
Parents push for re-opening schools

MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - A new social media group created by local parents is pushing for the full re-opening of schools within the Mankato School District.
The Facebook group, called Re-open District 77, seeks to serve as a platform for parents and students within the district. Its creator says it’s a place to share stories about the mental health and academic concerns for 6 through 12th-grade students dealing with remote learning for a full academic year, helping to make sure all voices are heard by district leadership. Elementary students within the district went back to in-person learning in mid-January. Secondary students were originally set to return to class in the hybrid model on February 4, but that got pushed back to the 18th.
Evanston Township High School will open some in-person activities in February, school officials announced Thursday.
Due to improving local health metrics, students will soon have the option to participate in athletics, fine arts, hands-on learning, mindfulness practices and other activities in-person at ETHS, the email said. Students will continue learning according to the school’s Enhanced E-learning Schedule.
“Isolation is negatively affecting many of our students,” the email said. “In a regular school year, student wellbeing and belonging are priorities at ETHS and the pandemic amplifies those priorities.”
The announcement comes shortly after the Coalition to Reopen Evanston Schools, formerly known as the Coalition to Reopen District 65 Schools, called on District 202 leaders to provide a detailed plan for returning to in-person learning. D65 superintendent Devon Horton announced just over a week ago the district is set to launch its hybrid learning model Feb. 16.
