Sartell-St. Stephen school leaders answer questions online about reopening schools

photo by Mike Knaak Sartell-St. Stephen school district administrators and building principals gather Aug. 10 for an online question and answer session about how schools will reopen during the Covid-19 pandemic. The school board approved Aug. 5 a return to schools plan that covers three options - in-person learning for all students, a hybrid plan that mixes distance learning and in-person classes and a full distance learning option. The board is expected to decide on Aug. 17 which option to follow based on public health data showing the number of cases in Stearns County.
