FWCS to go totally in-person in August ASHLEY SLOBODA | The Journal Gazette Fort Wayne Community Schools is planning to begin the next academic year with in-person classes for all students five days a week. Superintendent Mark Daniel shared those “very optimistic” intentions during his monthly Facebook Live update Tuesday. District leaders also are discussing virtual options offered for unique situations, he said. “If this pandemic has told us one thing,” Daniel said, “it has told us we do so much better, so much better – our students, our staff, our entire organization – when we're in person.” The 2021-22 academic year will start Aug. 16.
