Kansas City Public Schools started the school year virtually, but now hopes some students can come in-person in the near future.

After a month of having only virtual classes, Kansas City Public Schools is considering letting some students return to school.

Kansas City Public Schools Superintendent Mark Bedell says internet access is one problem, even after the district pushed out more than 6,000 internet hot spots. Also, only 80-84% of students are connecting on a daily basis.
