ELK GROVE (CBS13) — Families and teachers in Elk Grove are anxiously waiting to see how education will look when the new school year begins come fall.
On Tuesday, the Elk Grove Unified School District will be presenting a plan that should give people a better idea.
The district is working on a plan to present for the Department of Education for reopening. Some of the options include doing distance learning for the year, a hybrid of in-person and distance learning, or a full return to classes.
