Following reports of protests that are planned to take place, all Fremont District 79 schools will move to full remote learning starting Monday, according to a statement on the districts’ site.
Protests have erupted following recent rulings regarding masks in schools as parents and students want a choice to wear masks in the classroom.“While we all anticipated an expedited ruling already that may have provided a higher level of clarity, that has not happened, and it now appears that the matter may be litigated for a longer period of time.”beginning Feb 28 as numbers of COVID cases continue to fall.
The district asks for partnership to have student learning as the primary focus and make schools a safe and welcoming environment regardless of viewpoints.“Our schools cannot become battlegrounds for differing adult opinions. Thank you for your support and we will continue to keep parents updated.”
