After facing pressure, Salt Lake City School District will reopen junior high and high schools for in-person learning

The decision likely upends a lawsuit and mounting threats from the Legislature.

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Gabriel Hansen, 12, joins the protest at East High in Salt Lake City on Monday, Dec. 7, 2020, in response to more students failing this fall with classes entirely online due to the coronavirus pandemic. Salt Lake City's school board decided Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2021, to allow junior high and high school students to return for in-person learning, in part, because of that.
