In-person instruction at Tulsa Public Schools started just a few weeks ago. But by the end of this week, students in the state’s second-largest public school district will be back to learning remotely.
COVID-19's spread has gotten so bad in Tulsa County that the district’s students will go back to learning from home after just a handful of days in an actual classroom.
Only the youngest kids had been in the classroom, with students grades four and above slated to come back to in person learning in the future.
But by Monday afternoon, superintendent Deborah Gist wrote in a letter to parents that it is too risky to continue in-person instruction.
The roughly 30,000 Tulsa students will stay in remote learning until at least Dec. 18 when winter break begins.
