REMINDER: All students will be on remote instruction until mid-February
All students in grades Pre-K-12 will remain in remote instruction through mid-February.
Board members made this decision after hearing employees and school administrators share their concerns over the increasing percentage of positive cases, the level of community spread in our county and staffing concerns. Board members will review state and local guidance, state and local health data and district operation details before deciding next steps in February.
