Fayette County students will once again be in the blended learning model this week. File photo
Fayette County moved into a Covid-19 case-related range good enough to allow schools to be open in a blended learning model this past week.
With a 3.88 percent positivity rate on Dec. 8, the county was yellow on the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources daily county alert system map on Wednesday.
Students with last names A-L were to attend school on Monday and Tuesday of last week and were to learn remotely the rest of the week. All county schools, however, stayed in remote learning on Monday due to weather. So, A-L students were in their school buildings on Tuesday and Wednesday, and M-Z students were in school on Thursday and Friday.
