INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Public Schools will return to all in-person learning in its high schools and middle schools after spring break on April 5.
Superintendent Aleesia Johnson says the decision was made based on updated data and a recent discussion with the Marion County Health Department.
She said Friday that schools must be able to maintain 3 feet of social distancing, require masks, and ensure a strong contact tracing protocol. Middle and high school students are now on a hybrid model to curb the spread of COVID-19.
In January, students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade, except for sixth graders on a middle school schedule, returned to a full in-person schedules at school.
