Clay Community School Board approves Roadmap to Re-entry for this fall

Planning for the return to school.

It includes an option for students to actually stay home if their parents choose.

News 10's dominic miranda has an update after speaking with clay community's superintendent.

Domini} it took several weeks of what clay community schools superintendent jeff fritz calls "intense labor"..to put this roadmap to re-entry together.

Risk management..meals..transpor... n...and protocols for if a student becomes sick were the main areas of focus.

Fritz told me they also focused on different learning platforms. if you still want your child to stay home...clay community's new virtual academy may be just the thing for you.

Fritz says they've used the e-learning platform for a while now..

But this virtual academy is brand new.

He told me all students k through 12 will have chromebooks this upcoming year.

This is new for elementary aged students.

Fritz says there are a ton of benefits to the virtual academy.

He says it protects student enrollment... which is vital for the schools' financial security and health.

Administrators and teachers can also easily monitor student progress.

But above all else...he says this can provide a platform for students to be able to stay home..

If their parent or guardian feels more comfortable that way.

"we certainly want to provide an opportunity and a platform for those parents who may be concerned, initially, to send their children back.

We're hoping that most parents will choose the traditional route.

We still feel that that is the most viable learning platform.

That in-person, direct instruction in the traditional classroom setting we feel is the best."

Fritz told me they have researched the virtual academy program exensively.

They feel good about it...and they feel good about the plan they have in place as they set to welcome students back to the classroom this fall.

In clay county.
