Richmond School Board votes to hold 100% virtual classes for first semester of 2020-2021 school year
Due to the ongoing uncertainty around COVID-19, students will receive 100% online instruction when schools reopen this fall in the City of Richmond.
From the Richmond Times-Dispatch:
After spending hours listening to parents, staff and teachers’ fears about returning to school as the number of COVID-19 cases in Virginia ticks up, the Richmond School Board decided Tuesday to have fully virtual learning in the fall.
The board voted 8-1 to forgo in-person instruction for the fall semester. The lone no vote was cast by Jonathan Young of the 4th District.
The board told Kamras on Tuesday that the administration would need to provide updates on virtual learning at every upcoming board meeting.
