Flagstaff Unified School District students returned to virtual classes Monday as new Governing Board members, who will make the final decision on when schools can eventually reopen in person, took the oath of office.
The board voted in November to continue remote learning through the second quarter, which ended Tuesday, and again discuss the status of its reopening plans at its next meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 12.
