West Michigan parents split on sending kids back to school this fall

Leaders with the Michigan Association of Superintendents say they’re planning for everything when it comes to sending kids back to the classroom this fall. As districts sort out their plans, concerns are building for parents.

At this point, it's apparent that some parents are OK with sending their kids back to school, while others aren’t a fan of the idea. Many districts are giving options to parents on whether they would like to have their kids learn online or in-person.

Lauren Nykamp, a Hudsonville mother of four, said “I believe in the public school, but I don’t believe in the restrictions."

Margarita Gonzalez, whose son attends Byron Center Public Schools, added, “I’m well confident in the fact that my public-school system is going to provide the policies in order to make everything sanitary."
