Vail schools begin going back to hybrid learning Monday Vail School District (Source: Vail School District) By KOLD News 13 Staff | January 19, 2021 at 5:29 PM MST - Updated January 19 at 5:29 PM
TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - Schools in the Vail School District start going back to hybrid instruction beginning next week.
This, after Vail School Superintendent John Caruth sent a letter out in which he recommended the school board to make the approval.
Beginning Monday, Jan. 25th, all PreK-8 schools in the district, along with Vail Academy and High School, will return to the hybrid instruction model. All other high schools in the district will resume hybrid instruction on Monday, Feb. 8th.
Most Tucson K-12 students will be starting their second semester completely online, as the coronavirus pandemic continues to spiral out of control across Pima County.
Amphi, Vail and Tanque Verde became the latest Tucson school districts to announce closing in-person classes for remote learning next semester, citing the steep rise in COVID cases throughout the county and the challenges that creates.
âWe have learned that we have reached a tipping point where hybrid may no longer be the best option,â Superintendent Todd Jaeger wrote in a letter to families on Dec. 12.
The Pima County Health Department told schools on Dec. 11 to consider suspending in-person instruction as the coronavirus moves into substantial community spread.
