MISSOULA — Missoula County Public Schools will announce later this week whether they plan to reopen or continue with remote learning for the remainder of the school year.
The MCPS Board of Trustees will meet on Tuesday evening to discuss the pros and cons of their options and consider what’s best for students and staff.
The board will reconvene at 12 p.m. on Friday, May 1, and announce their final decision.
MCPS Superintendent Rob Watson has said that he recommends schools remain closed for the rest of the year, but in Montana’s Phased Reopen Plan, Gov. Steve Bullock says the decision is ultimately up to each school’s locally elected board of trustees.
Public comment will be shared with the Board of Trustees before any decisions are made.
