Next fall, Jeffco students could choose to go to school part time and spend other days learning at home. Or they could choose to learn entirely from home, as outlined in a draft released Wednesday.
School districts around the metro area are considering a hybrid approach to learning in the fall, as they deal with uncertainty about the ongoing threat from coronavirus. The Jeffco district is looking to get feedback that will inform its own plans and those of neighboring districts.
Employee groups will provide feedback first. Next week, the updated draft plan will be sent out to the school community, along with a survey for feedback.
A final plan would be published in July. Jeffco’s first day of school is Aug. 18.

I imagine some parents and students are going to be reluctant to return to crowded classrooms.
And you have to know some students can't wait to get back to socializing with friends in person.
I saw a foreign school district where they drew chalk boxes on the playgrounds for the students to occupy individually. Sad.
