At the 7/22/20 Special Board meeting, the board voted that we will be using our Digital Learning Academy (full distance learning) model for the full first trimester, 8/19/20-11/6/20. This decision was made in consideration for the health and continuity of instruction, to give parents needed information for their planning, and to avoid possible disruptions that COVID cases could cause. The county health and safety data will be reviewed with the board at each meeting.
