Watch DPI Web Page for Choice Program Answers; Agency Says Individual E-mails Will Not Get Replies
The DPI has been so barraged with e-mails as a result of COVID-19 issues, that they are responding via their web page, rather than individual replies.
In a statement Monday, May 18, the DPI announced that when it comes to choice programs, “Changes and updates… as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak will be posted on the Information for Schools webpage when they occur.”
