(KFOR) – In one week, students are expected to head back to class in the Moore Public School District.However, the district’s current back-to-school plan isn’t sitting well with some parents.Moore Public Schools has two options for students enrolled in the 2020-2021 school year. Students can choose whether they want to take part in the ‘Traditional Classroom Setting’ or ‘Virtual/Online Education.’District officials say if they encounter situations where closures are necessary, they will temporarily move to a ‘Distance Learning’ option for the students enrolled in the ‘Traditional Classroom Setting.’At this time, Moore’s school calendar will remain the same and students are to report back to school on Thursday, Aug. 13.All students and staff should take their temperatures on a daily basis at home prior to arriving at school. Not student or staff with a fever of 100 degrees or higher may enter any Moore Public Schools facility.If a student or staff has a fever at school, they must go home immediately.
