Following the lead of all other districts in Johnson County, Olathe schools will move older students to online classes later this month due to rising COVID-19 cases. Olathe officials announced Wednesday that middle and high schoolers will return to remote learning after Thanksgiving on Nov. 30 through the end of the semester on Dec. 18. Elementary students will continue learning in classrooms full time. Middle and high school sports are allowed to continue. “With rising community spread and the number of staff members in quarantine, it is becoming more challenging to operate our buildings. Even with the incredible efforts of all of our staff and students, this remains a challenge,” district officials said in the announcement.
