EAGLE \u2014 Local students are not going back to in-person classes through the remainder of this school year, not even for graduation.<\/p>\n

In a special meeting Friday, the school board pulled the plug on in-person classes for the rest of the 2019-20 school year. Their decision came almost exactly a month after the board\u2019s decision to close buildings and shift to online learning.<\/p>\n

As part of Friday\u2019s decision, this month\u2019s spring break was canceled and the school year will end a week early, May 22. Spring break was scheduled to begin on April 20.<\/p>\n

Graduation ceremonies are scheduled to proceed online, possibly with live ceremonies later this summer \u2014 assuming the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided. The school board was disappointed for this year\u2019s seniors.<\/p>\n
