A group of parents, teachers and students are pressuring the Cobb County School District to share more details about what it will take to resume classes in August during the coronavirus pandemic. Late Friday, the school district released details about the plan.
The plan, which does not need school board approval, says that face masks and coverings are “strongly recommended” for students, but are expected for staff. It also allows students and staff to wear face shields, requires social distancing in every possible way and provides additional personal protective equipment in school clinics.
The plan is laid out on the school district’s new website, cobblearningeverywhere.com, that details students’ option of returning to classrooms or learning remotely for the 2020-21 school year. Registration for either option will begin July 13 and end July 22 and must be done online. The site also has a list of health and safety protocols the district will implement.
