DENVER (AP) \u2014 Colorado Gov. Jared Polis says he expects to see many K-12 public schools open this fall in his state and elsewhere despite the coronavirus threat, though \u201cit\u2019s not going to look like any other school year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Polis told \u201cFox News Sunday\u201d that Colorado schools will likely run in a \u201chybrid\u201d fashion that limits social interactions in hallways and during lunchtime, and has up to 20% of kids continue with online classes at home if that\u2019s their parents\u2019 preference.<\/p>\n

The Democratic governor says schools also may close periodically when \u201cthere\u2019s an inevitable outbreak.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump has urged K-12 schools to reopen, but Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation\u2019s top infectious disease expert, told Congress last week it may be reckless to rush kids back before doctors have a better sense of the dangers.<\/p>\n
