In-person instruction to increase for Roanoke's elementary students, some secondary


Elementary and certain secondary students can attend school in-person four days per week beginning next month, the Roanoke School Board voted Wednesday.
Following a fraught discussion over whether the district could have done even more, the board voted unanimously to bring back all elementary students and voted 6-1 to bring back certain middle and high school students four days per week. Laura Rottenborn was the sole dissenting vote because she wanted more secondary students to attend four days.
“I recognize that it’s not black and white. I think there are lots of countervailing considerations,” she said. “But I would prefer a plan that at least maxed out our capacity in our schools within the guidelines. I don’t think we’ve turned over every stone to do it, and my heart is truly broken for the kids in our district who are genuinely suffering. It hurts.”
