The district will offer families two learning options for 2020-21, either traditional in-person or a fully online alternative. The school year is set to begin for all students on August 10th.
Superintendent Doug Robinson said that students choosing the in-person option will start off on an A/B schedule for the first three weeks.
During that period, students will go to school in person two days (either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday) and the other two days and Fridays at home on Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI). On August 28th, those students will transition to a regular schedule.
Requirements recommended by the Kentucky Department of Public Health and Department of Education will be in place for in-person schooling. That includes: Face Coverings, Social Distancing, Frequent Hand Washing and Sanitizer Use, Symptom Screening, and Temperature Checks, and Contact Tracing.
On the district’s website, they have a list of frequently asked questions about the potential of a return to school.
In order to cover those and the potential of questions not covered, Grayson County Schools will be hosting a ‘Relaunch Roundup’ on K105 Digital Productions on Tuesday, July 14th at 6 pm.
Superintendent Robinson will join K105’s Misty Thomas to answer questions from the public.
