State officials in Arkansas made it clear Wednesday that they expect schools to open for in-person learning five days a week when the new school year starts later this month.
“This is not a change in our stance at all since March when the governor made the announcement to close schools for on-site instruction,” said Arkansas’ Education Secretary Johnny Key during a press briefing. “We have said since Day One that the plan for the fall is to come back and have school on-site.”
