Most Arizona schools are weeks away from reopening for in-person instruction, but some students will return to campus Monday for state-mandated support services.
An executive order by Gov. Doug Ducey requires school districts and charter schools to provide on-site support services for students who need a place to go or have specific needs.
“This is meant to be more like a safety net for those students who truly need on-campus, onsite services,” Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman said during a webinar last week.
Hoffman said the safest place for students to learn is still at home, as none of the 15 counties in Arizona meet all three recommended coronavirus benchmarks for safe reopening of schools.
