McKinney ISD’s Reuben Johnson Elementary School is pivoting to fully virtual instruction in response to rising cases of COVID-19.
The school made the switch after more than one-third of its teachers and staff tested positive, were presumed positive, or were quarantined due to COVID-19, leaving the school’s overall staff depleted, according to an announcement from the district.
