Lexington-Richland 5 adjusts its school re-entry plan for early 2021 Bristow Marchant, The State (Columbia, S.C.)
Dec. 15 Lexington-Richland 5 school district is changing its re-entry again, with a new plan for how schools will tackle rising COVID-19 cases going forward.
Superintendent Christina Melton recommended at Monday s school board meeting that Lexington-Richland 5 go virtual-only during the first three days back from the winter break. Students at all schools and adult education courses would take online courses from Jan. 4 to 6.
Melton said the virtual shift would allow the district time to reassess how the coronavirus has affected students and staff before they return to campus, after they have been gone for two weeks.
