Nicole Turner has a child in high school and one in middle school. Her child in 11th grade will be strictly online, but her 7th grade child will be doing a hybrid schedule of both in-person and online learning. So far, she gives Detroit public schools credit for keeping parents informed.
“I get a phone call every day,” Turner said. “Sometimes it’s four calls a day, they continuously give me information about protocols and procedures.”
