Class is back in session for many of Oklahoma's 700,000 public school students — at a distance — for five more weeks.
After three weeks of no instruction due to closures for COVID-19, the state’s schools are back to educating children. But school buildings will remain closed.
Instruction is incredibly varied throughout the state, and because about a quarter of students don’t have home internet, much of it is done through paper packets.
Many children are continuing to receive lunch from school thanks to a U.S. Department of Agriculture waiver that allows students to be fed off site during the coronavirus crisis.
Instruction will end between May 8 and May 15, depending on the district. State assessment tests and many other requirements have been suspended.
