Albuquerque schools to resume in-person learning on April 5

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — With the slowing of the coronavirus outbreak, Albuquerque Public Schools will resume in-person learning for five days a week on April 5 though students can continue remote learning for the rest of the school year. New Mexico's largest school district announced its startup date Friday after the state Public Education Department earlier in the week said all schools were expected to reopen classrooms after spring break. The district's Board of Education was briefed on the reopening plan but did not vote on it. Interim Superintendent Scott Elder said mask-wearing will be required and social distancing will be expected
