TULSA, Okla. -

On Monday, the Tulsa Public Schools Board of Education will hold a special meeting to decide whether the start of school should take place in-person or online-only.

The school board meeting is online, due to safety concerns about getting together.

At the teachers union, the leadership said they've gotten a clear message from educators. They don't believe it's possible to safely reopen schools.

Board member John Croissant is a former teacher, who said the virus numbers are not encouraging for in-person classes.
