Masks will be required in Clarke County Schools when they reopen to in-person classes on November 9th.
That information was part of an update given to parents which provided several details of what the return to in-person learning will look like.
Sunday was the deadline for parents to notify the school system of whether their children will continue with virtual learning or head back to school buildings.
Students whose parents did not reply will be automatically enrolled in in-person classes. And that choice will be in effect through January 15th when families will likely have to make the choice all over again.
Hours of operation have not yet been set.
Students will sit two per seat in assigned seats with 48 students at most in a bus. Each school will have a waiting room for students or staff members who are symptomatic as they wait to be picked up by a parent, guardian, or partner. Ventilation systems “are updated and will be frequently monitored,” and will meet engineering and EPA standards that require fresh air to be mixed into school airflow systems.
