GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Students in West Michigan's biggest school district will not increase the amount of in-person classroom time as scheduled.
Grand Rapids Public Schools notified parents Wednesday that the expansion to 4-days of hybrid in-person learning is being delayed by 1 week, from April 12 to April 19. The pause comes after the Kent County Health Department advised area school districts to enact more strategies to limit the spread of coronavirus when students return from spring break.
