BEAVERCREEK — Nearly 75 percent of Beavercreek City Schools students will be attending classes in person when the school year starts this fall, while the other approximately 25 percent will participate in remote learning, according to the district's superintendent.
The new data was released during Monday night's Beavercreek City Council meeting.

Superintendent Paul Otten shared an update on the district's plan to return to the classroom.
Otten shared results from surveys conducted in both June and July that showed a growing concern among parents with in-person learning.
In June, 89.5 percent of parents told the district they would plan on sending their children to school for in-person learning if the district went that route. A month later, 64 percent of parents said they would send their students to class for in-person learning.
"Those things changed a bit," Otten told city council.
In June, 70 percent of parents said they preferred the traditional in-person learning as their primary choice for returning to school, however a month later that number dropped to 45 percent.
Beavercreek will begin classes with a staggered start on Aug. 24 for students with last names A-K and Aug. 25 for students L-Z. All students will report on Aug. 26.
Additional restart plans for Beavercreek City School can be found on the district’s website.
