CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Parents in Clinton Township made their voices heard for face-to-face learning. On Monday, a smattering of protestors -- parents and their children who want in-person learning -- were outside the Chippewa Valley Schools administration building. Earlier this summer, the district thought it could provide some in-person learning, but pulled back on that option just before the start of school, sending all 15,000 students into remote learning. The district acknowledges the fact that most children do better with face to face learning, but said that science says it’s not safe. However, some parents, like Pearce, said there is still no reason why students could not be in school.
