INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indianapolis Public Schools will return to all in-person learning in its high schools and middle schools after spring break on April 5, the superintendent said in a video message sent via Vimeo and Twitter on Friday afternoon.
Middle and high school students are now on a hybrid model to battle the coronavirus pandemic.
The in-person classes will require all to wear masks and maintain 3 feet of social distancing. A “strong contact-tracing protocol” also will be in place, the superintendent said.
