Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer plans to release a “Michigan’s Return to School Roadmap” to outline requirements, guidelines and recommendations for schools. While aligning closely with her MI Safe Start Plan, Whitmer will release the plan June 30th.
“Our students and educators have made incredible sacrifices these past few months to protect themselves and their families from the spread of COVID-19,” Whitmer said. “Thanks to our aggressive action against this virus, those who have done their part to flatten the curve, and the heroes on the front lines, I am optimistic that we will return to in-person learning in the fall.”
“The most important thing we can do when developing a return to school plan is closely examine the data and remain vigilant in our steps to fight this virus,” said MDHHS Chief Deputy for Health and Chief Medical Executive Dr. Joneigh Khaldun.
As a parent, I'm not sure if I'm ready for this just yet. My three boys has not brought home a common cold since the start of distance-learning, plus I can effectively help them with virtual classes and homework assignments.
