Marquette, MI – (04/14/20) – The Marquette Area Public Schools are introducing their Alternative Learning Plan to students this week. Superintendent Bill Saunders joined Mark & Walt in the Morning today to talk about the plan and it’s timeline.
Saunders said the recent Executive Order from Governor Gretchen Whitmer that closed down all K-12 school buildings in the state due to COVID-19 included a requirement that all districts develop a plan to get educational materials into the hands of students.
He said the MAPS plan is similar to many around the state that are hybrid in nature, meaning they use online teaching and actual physical homework packets. The determination as to who gets what materials is contingent upon the student’s access to high-speed internet service.
