The positivity seen at our Stage 1 locations and our Academic Support Center has been heartwarming. Everyone in our organization has contributed to making this important step happen.

Stage 2 Not Ready to Transition to Hybrid Learning
Prioritizing the health needs of students and staff is the first guiding principle for planning to reopen our schools. At this time, SPPS has 8,000 of the expected 10,000 air filters with MERV 11 ratings needed for each Stage 2 building to safely transition to hybrid learning. All buildings currently in operation have adequate supplies of these filters, but due to a national backorder, the filters needed to open additional buildings have not yet been delivered.
