Clovis and Melrose to resume hybrid education

CLOVIS — Clovis and Melrose school officials announced that they would resume hybrid education the week of Jan. 18, assuming they are still cleared to do so by existing health orders.

Melrose Schools will return to hybrid mode for prekindergarten through sixth grade on Jan. 18, while Clovis Municipal Schools will resume hybrid mode Jan. 19 for preschool through fifth grade. The Clovis district will be closed for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday on Jan. 18.

Both districts shifted to remote mode after the Thanksgiving holiday, and in December the Public Education Department put all public schools into remote learning mode through Jan. 15 over concerns about post-holiday case spikes.

Roosevelt County schools will remain in remote learning mode until the county moves into “green” mode, meaning fewer than eight daily cases per 100,000 residents and 5% or lower test positivity over a twoweek period.
