ROANOKE COUNTY, Va. – Roanoke County Public Schools gave its students the choice to learn all-online this semester. Director of Secondary Instruction Mike Riley said that will not become mandatory for all students, despite other school districts switching to all-virtual learning.
“What the data has shown us is you can’t replace that face-to-face interaction with a teacher,” Riley said. “It’s hard, but that’s what we’re tasked with. We’re going to do what’s best for our kids.”
