By Howard Monroe, CBS Philadelphia August 31, 2021 Philadelphia School District students return for full-time, in-person learning on Tuesday. It'll be the first time they've been in the classroom since March of 2020. "We're really excited. A little anxious and nervous, and some anxiety about that, but a good anxiety," Philadelphia Schools Superintendent Dr. William Hite said. The district is welcoming back over 100,000 students for the first time since March 2020. All of the district's schools are now equipped with COVID safety protocols that include mask mandates for all and a recently added vaccine mandate for staff.
