There are still more questions than answers as to what school may look like this fall.
Milwaukee Health Commissioner Jeanette Kowalik says in-person instruction won’t be allowed unless the city enters Phase 5 of its re-opening plan, which she says is a long way off.
“We’re going to have to adjust our strategy and basically require schools to submit Covid safety plans, so we can make sure that schools are proposing plans that are going to uphold safety for students, faculty and staff,” Kowalik told WTMJ.
Schools are expected to get further direction when the city unveils its Phase 4.1 re-opening plan in the coming days, but Kowalik says approved plans would ease into in-person learning by starting through virtual or hybrid models.
As far as whether the health commissioner thinks fans will be able to take in a game at Miller Park this season, she painted a bleak outlook.
Kowalik admitted that it was “highly unlikely” that the Brewers would be able to host fans for home games during their shortened 2020 season.
“I don’t see it happening anytime soon,” she said.
