COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ) The Columbia Board of Education voted to move back return to in-person classes to Jan. 19. It was originally set for Jan. 11. It passed in a 6 to 1 vote, with the dissenting vote coming from Teresa Maledy. The board asked before the vote if they should wait to see what the actual rate is next year, but the idea was the board meets on Jan. 11 and they would have to call a special session to make the decision. Not just our own employees but our families would do a lot of handwringing as they were trying to figure out what will happen after the holidays, Superintendent Peter Stiepleman said.
