WEST BOUNTIFUL, Utah – Another round of students are heading back to the classroom for the first time in months – including the Davis School District, which is the second-biggest district in Utah.

The district is doing things a little differently than other districts, with students use an at home/in school alternating schedule Monday through Thursday. All students will be learning remotely on Fridays.

The board of education unanimously approved the schedule earlier in August as some parents protested to have students in class for five days a week.

“Our kids get to continue learning, they’re building those important relationships, and they’re also keeping themselves, our teachers and our entire community safe,” said instructional coach and parent Sarah Jones.

School board members did acknowledge the hybrid schedule could be changed later in the year.
