Public schools in Flint, Michigan, will stick with remote learning indefinitely, Flint Community Schools announced on Wednesday. The decision reverses last week's announcement that Flint schools would reopen on January 24. The promised reopening would've marked the end of three weeks of remote learning that have followed the district's holiday break, which also ran three weeks.
In his first at-home learning announcement to parents on January 9, Flint Superintendent Kevelin Jones cited the level of community transmission of the omicron variant of COVID-19 as the reason to continue remote learning.
