After feedback from families, Springville-Griffith Institute, with 1,700 students, decided to offer an all-remote learning option while reconfiguring classrooms and cafeterias to maintain social distance for students attending in person. Half the students will attend Mondays and Tuesdays, the others on Thursdays and Friday.

So far, Springville-Griffith Institute is like the little district that could, one that doesn't have its teachers union threatening to sue or its parents demanding the superintendent's resignation.
