APPOMATTOX COUNTY, Va. – An Appomattox County School teacher was given a top honor for always going above and beyond for his students.
On Friday, Appomattox County Public Schools named Brendan M. Conroy the 2020-2021 Teacher of the Year.
Conroy teaches the school’s Individual Student Alternative Education Program (ISAEP), a program designed to help students earn their GED credentials. He has grown this program to be a viable option for students who need an alternative credential to graduate and find employment.
Following their winter breaks over the last two weeks in December, almost all Lynchburg-area school divisions resumed classes Monday as well as normal COVID-19 case reporting. Only Appomattox County Public Schools suspended in-person learning last week following winter break. According to a message division superintendent Annette Bennett issued out Dec. 31, the division had a higher than normal number of students and staff in quarantine and isolation. Bennettâs message added the division will be changing its in-person schedule at all schools through Jan. 22.
This past week, Lynchburg City Schools and schools in the Campbell, Bedford, Amherst and Nelson county school divisions reported 135 new positive cases of COVID-19. Together, these area school divisions have reported 539 total COVID-19 cases since their school years began.
