After easing back in to a in-person schedule this week, both the Gainesville City School System and the Hall County School District plan to have all face-to-face learners in the classroom next week.
Gainesville Superintendent Jeremy Williams issued a statement to students and staff saying the system plans to stagger the return of students. After a productive week with a number of our students back in school and those learning at home, we will continue phasing students back to school, Williams said. Monday, January 25, all 3rd Grade through 8th Grade students will return to Face-to-Face Instruction.Wednesday, January 27, all 9th Grade through 12th Grade students will return to Face-to-Face Instruction.
Add the Gainesville City School System to the list of public school districts altering in-person learning schedules because of increasing numbers of COVID-19 cases in the area.
Superintendent Jeremy Williams announced Tuesday morning that the last day for students in a face-to-face format before the holiday break will be Wednesday, Dec. 16. Due to the increase of COVID-19 cases and exposures in Gainesville City, Hall County, and other locations our employees reside, we have reached a tipping point where we are no longer able to provide coverage in all of our major departments (school nutrition, transportation, classrooms, nurses, etc.), Williams wrote in a statement.
