Columbia Public Schools students are in-person all five days this week for the first time in more than a year.
The board of education voted in March to return to near-normal. CPS has been in hybrid mode, or completely online, since March 19, 2020.
Masks are still required at school. The families that chose last fall to learn online-only the whole school year will keep doing that. More than 3,400 students are in enrolled in the CPSElementary@Mizzou and CPSVirtual programs.
