MPS delays plan to begin some in-person instruction, saying safety dictates keeping classes virtual

Milwaukee Public Schools will continue with virtual instruction until further notice and not pivot to a hybrid model as hoped in October, citing the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the need to keep students, families and employees safe.

MPS Superintendent Keith Posley announced the decision in a letter to parents on Monday, saying it was not taken lightly.

"The logistics involved in safely educating all our students every day in a pandemic are a challenge and we need to be able to safely transition between phases," Posley said in the letter.
