Whitmer is optimistic about in-person school in fall

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Wednesday she is optimistic about a return to in-person instruction at K-12 schools in the fall, announcing she will release further guidance on June 30.

The governor said she will issue an executive order that will provide details on what will be required to reopen schools and what will be recommended. Schools were closed in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, and schools later finished the academic year with online or other forms of remote learning.

Whitmer said the roadmap will set minimum health and safety requirements, though districts can enact more aggressive ones.  (AP
