The district says more parents than expected want to continue with distance learning, and school officials needs more time for planning and to obtain additional technology for students.

The district, which includes about 41,000 students, initially planned to reopen elementary schools on Oct. 5 and middle and high schools on Oct. 12. Most campuses planned a hybrid with some in-person learning and some online instruction due to physical distancing requirements.
