With the 2020/2021 school year coming quick for families around the Quad Cities, parents are looking to each district to see what they plan to do.  In Rock Island - Milan, the year will start the same way the previous year ended.  At home.

In a statement from the schools, the year will start on August 6th with full remote learning followed by a blended plan (part remote, part in person) set for September 8 pending health concerns.
