TPS announces return to hybrid learning

TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - The long await return to in-person learning has an official date for Toledo Public Schools students.

The district is moving to a Yellow Light -- or hybrid status -- over the next few weeks. The first group of students will return to the classroom on Monday, February 22.

TPS went to a virtual learning environment in November after increasing numbers of COVID-19 cases in the area moved the district’s status. Recently, TPS athletics resumed practices and competition.

Students and staff members will be required to follow strict safety precautions, including wearing masks while in school and practicing social distancing.

Classrooms, offices, and other high traffic areas will be cleaned throughout each school day and deep cleaning is scheduled for Wednesdays, which will continue to be remote learning days.
