Winter break has arrived, and the ten largest school districts in Michigan still providing online instruction only.
These districts carried 204,449 students, or 14.2% of the state’s schoolchildren, according to Michigan Capitol Confidential.

The Detroit Public Community District had offered in-person instruction from Sept. 8 through Nov. 16 but suspected classes due to an increase of COVID-19 cases in Detroit.
