(AP Photo/Tony Ding, File)ANN ARBOR – The University of Michigan has just announced its 2021 Fall term plan, and it will be a drastic shift from the current campus environment. According to officials, most classes will be taught in person, residence halls will open at roughly 80% capacity and fans will be able to attend athletic events in the stands. University President Mark Schlissel made the announcement at the beginning of a live COVID-19 briefing on Zoom with other university leaders. Most student-facing services, such as libraries, museums, study spaces, Recreational Sports facilities, counseling, wellness and other support services will have expanded in-person opportunities, while continuing to maintain remote options. Harmon said that new students can expect expanded fall welcome activities and the opportunity to engage with others on campus.

DETROIT – Winter weather already has prompted some school closings in Metro Detroit. There is plenty of snow expected overnight Monday into Tuesday morning, so you can expect even more closings to be announced. From the Local 4Casters:A bigger storm heading this way from Texas will redevelop snow Monday evening, which will become heavy at times Monday night before winding down Tuesday morning. This should easily be a 6-to-8-inch snowfall, so total snow from what falls both Sunday night/Monday morning and Monday night/Tuesday morning could approach 10 inches in some areas. Weather forecast: 6-to-10 inches of snow tonight

The pandemic has forced changes to school count day in Michigan. Wednesday is arguably one of the more important days on the academic calendar because “Count Day” determines how much funding a district is getting based on the number of students they have. Because of the pandemic, many school districts have students split up, some attending in person, some virtual, and some absent. Normally, the math looks like this: 90% of the October count is added to 10% of the previous year’s February count. The Novi superintendent said they’ve lost about 50 students to private or online schools, which means losing about $442,000 in per-pupil funding.

LANSING, Mich. Republicans who control the Michigan Legislature on Tuesday proposed a $1.3 billion plan to help K-12 schools reopen during the coronavirus pandemic, saying districts should have flexibility to start when they want and to offer remote instruction as an alternative if necessary.

If you're in Marquette, that's going to look very different than what school would probably look like in Grand Rapids or Detroit.
