As a growing number of schools around the country close their doors because of the new coronavirus, they are confronted with the dilemma of whether to move classes online and run the risk of leaving behind the many students who don't have internet or computers at home, or parents with flexible work schedule.

    LANSING, Kan. — A Kansas school district is giving overwhelmed staff some extra time off heading into Thanksgiving break by using two of the extra days it had built into its schedule in case it had to close because of snow.

    WDAF-TV reports that the Lansing board of education’s decision to give staff Nov. 22 and 23 off as wellness days was based on the recommendation of Superintendent Dan Wessel. He said that staff has been “presented with an overwhelming amount of responsibility this school year amid the ongoing pandemic.“

    The school district said that if the school district reaches the maximum number of snow days it will make them up before the end of the year.
