LANSING, Mich. (AP) — More than 80% of Michigan school districts planned to offer some form of in-person instruction this month, which represented a more than 20 percentage point increase over the previous month amid a decline in the coronavirus’ spread. Schools in Gogebic and Ontonagon Counties have been providing in person instruction for nearly a month without much of an impact on local COVID-19 cases. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has strongly encouraged schools to provide a face-to-face option by March 1. Just 15% of districts planned to be fully remote this month, down from 35% in January.
