St. Vrain Valley School District Moves Learning Entirely Online Until October

BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) - St. Vrain Valley School District officials announced students will learn remotely until October. The announcement came on Tuesday.

District officials say with increasing cases and growing concern about students returning to in-person learning, they are using "emerging scientific research" which tells them children might worsen the spread of the virus.

Following student, parent and staff feedback and concern about their safety, the district says "an in-person learning model would be conducive to learning and/or physical and emotional well-being."
