LAKEWOOD, Colo. — There was bumper-to-bumper traffic in the parking lot outside Jefferson County Public Schools Wednesday night as families demanded an immediate return to in-person learning when the second semester begins in January.
Families are struggling, Datko said, and believe remote learning is not the answer.
“It’s been really hard online,” said Teagan Eisenring, a sophomore at Conifer High School. “We’re just not having that connection with our teachers and our fellow peers that we would really like to have.”
Jefferson County Schools says it's “fully committed” to return to in-person learning in January, but is still working through the details. Bell said the district plans to present a plan to the school board on Wednesday, Dec. 16 for review and expects to share details about January with families before winter break starts Dec. 23.
