The school board recently approved a plan that allows students to choose from three options:
1. Attend class in-person for five days a week for a full day.
2. Learn virtually from home via Zoom along with students who choose in-person instruction.
3. Enroll in the districtâs virtual school, Cyber Pathways Academy.
The board split the plan into three separate votes for elementary, middle and high school.
Board member David Parry opposed allowing high school students to return to the classroom, citing fears of an increase in COVID-19 infections.
âRight now, we have 1,400 kids failing at least one course,â district Superintendent Damaris Rau said in response to Perryâs concern. âWe have over 1,000 kids failing two courses, and 506 failing three courses.
