Agua Fria Union High School District officials planned to welcome students back to campus full time March 22, but quickly pivoted this week to comply with Gov. Doug Ducey’s March 3 executive order requiring schools to fully reopen March 15.
Litchfield and Avondale elementary districts were already on track to transition their students to full-time in-person learning March 15 so they weren’t affected by the executive order, but it came as a surprise to Agua Fria officials.
All three districts’ offices will be closed March 8 to 12 for spring break.
