CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. Chesterfield County Public Schools (CCPS) elementary students are scheduled to return to face-to-face learning five days a week on Monday.
Some teachers and parents have urged school leaders to reconsider.
The Chesterfield Education Association (CEA) has called for all teachers and staff to get vaccinated before returning to in-person instruction.
âAs a parent, I absolutely understand the need for our children to be with their teachers,â CEA president Sonia Smith said. âWe got to make sure we are taking care of everyone.â
More than half of elementary students (52%) have requested to go back into the classroom, according to the school system.
Chesterfield elementary school teachers and staff are heading back into the classroom on Feb. 1, and a group of parents wants to make sure they are properly protected.
Chesterfield teachers, parents urge School Board to reconsider return to in-person learning
A handful of Chesterfield County educators, parents and community members gathered outside Woolridge Elementary School Friday morning. They were part of the group, Friends of Chesterfield Public Schools Coalition, who are calling for students not to return to in-person learning. If the students are returned back to school at this time with the numbers as high as they are, then its going to continue to increase the community spread of the infection, said parent Kate Flynn.
