APPLETON, Wis. (WLUK) — It has been a frustrating start to the year for many parents in the Appleton School District.

The district says enrollment is down almost 400 students this year. Some parents say it’s because of the district’s decision to continue all virtual learning.

George Brown and Keith Doszak say all-virtual learning wasn’t working for their kids.
