TIFTON, Ga. (WALB) - COVID-19 vaccines will not be required when the fall semester rolls around for Tift County Schools.
Superintendent Adam Hathaway said vaccines for the students will be recommended, but not required.
One thing that will be returning is the K-5 virtual learning, which didn’t exist before the pandemic.
School leaders said they built it from the ground up.
Hathaway said they plan to offer virtual as an option for K-12 students because, for some, that was a better option for them over in-person learning.
