Earlier this week, kindergarten through eighth grade students in the Kirksville School District returned to the district’s level two hybrid model of learning. While Kirksville High School students are still currently in virtual learning, plans are in place for them to return to the hybrid model this Monday. However, Kirksville Superintendent Bob Webb says there are still some hurdles to clear for that to happen.

The decision to begin returning to level two comes as more cases are being found to come from community spread outside of school. Webb says this has been reflected in recent CDC findings.

While students are returning to the classroom, ticket limitations remain in place for middle school and high school activities.

A decision on Kirksville High School students returning to level two is expected to be made by the end of the week.
