Monroe County high schools and middle schools will return to in-person classes five days a week, beginning Monday.
MCCSC’s COVID-19 metrics table indicates that, if the county’s seven-day positivity rate is below 5 percent, students can return to in-person instruction. The latest data from the State Health department has Monroe County’s rate at 1.4 percent.
Andrea Mobley is the assistant superintendent. She says the district’s metrics subcommittee will continue to monitor county data and follow the county health department’s guidance.
“We’re looking forward to what in many ways will be the first day of in-person school for many of our students," she says. "While we know it won’t be normal, we want it to be as normal as it possibly can be for our students and our staff under these circumstances.”
Until now, middle and high schools have operated on a hybrid model of in-person and e-learning.
A third of MCCSC students have opted for online learning and will continue this type of instruction for the semester.
