O’FALLON, Mo. (AP) – Nearly three-quarters of public school students in
Missouri have the option to attend classes in person this fall. Missouri’s 518
school districts and 36 public charter schools are taking varying approaches as
they balance educational needs with the desire to protect students, teachers and
staff from the coronavirus. Data from the Missouri Department of Elementary and
Secondary Education shows that 40% of students go to schools meeting onsite but
offering virtual learning options. Another 22.5% attend schools that blend
onsite and virtual learning, and 11.2% attend in person with no distance
learning option. The remaining 26% of students are in schools with virtual only
classes.
