GRAND LEDGE, Mich. — Now less than a month away from the new school year, a handful of school districts haven’t announced their school year plans yet. But on Monday, two more districts will announce their reopening plans.

Grand Ledge Public Schools and Dewitt Public Schools will announce their learning plans for the upcoming school year on Monday.

The Grand Ledge plan will be presented during a special virtual meeting at 6 p.m. Monday. For more information on the meeting, click here.

Grand Ledge Public Schools has previously asked parents for feedback on what they’d like to see happen. The district said more than 3,500 people responded with their preferences.

"Our recommendation will emphasize the health and safety of all students and staff, and will be focused on providing a student-centered education for all students," Grand Ledge Assistant Superintendent Steven Gabriel said.

Meanwhile, Dewitt Public Schools is also expected to announce their plan Monday. The Superintendent of DPS, John Deiter, is recommending an online-only restart. Deiter said he will present his plan to the school board at their next meeting. He said his outline includes plans to return to in-person learning as soon as possible.
