Jefferson High exploring how to deliver classes, free and reduced lunches during closure

2 p.m. update: During a 1 p.m. phone call with news media, Gov. Steve Bullock said he “cannot give assurances” that schools will be reopened in two weeks.

Jefferson High School scrambled Monday morning to determine how to hold classes online and feed needy students following Gov. Steve Bullock’s order Sunday afternoon to close statewide K-12 schools for two weeks.

“We’re looking at a bunch of different models” for delivering online instruction and course materials, Superintendent Tim Norbeck told The Monitor soon after a meeting of faculty, staff and administrators.
