WALTERBORO, S.C. (WCSC) - Colleton County Schools are back and in-person, five-days-a-week after state lawmakers passed a law requiring all schools to have a five-days-a-week in-person option.
“We are grateful to the staff of Colleton County School District for their organization and ability to adjust learning models,” Board Member Sharon Witkin said. “Once all staff have the opportunity to be fully vaccinated – our last clinic is scheduled this Wednesday, April 28 – we know we will definitely be closer to a safer and more regular school year.”
