Parents Concerned Over Back To School Plan

Some Limestone County parents told WAAY31 they have some concerns after receiving more in-depth plans for summer classes.

New at six... in limestone county - some parents told waay 31 they have some concerns after receiving more in-depth plans for summer classes.

The start date for those classes was pushed back after some employees were exposed to coronavirus.

Waay-31s alexis scott shares their their worries.

One parent told me the plans for reopening schools in limestone county look good on paper ... but she's hoping before her child returns back to school in august..

There will be some things that are a little bit more clear to her and other parents.

Parent she didn't want to be named "all we're receiving is it's up to the district, it's up to the district we'll have this, well what does that look like?

Does it look like the cluster that we dealt with the last 2 months of school, the busy work?," this parent didnt want to be named - but she told me she isnt sure if she'll place her kids in virtual learning or traditional classes, because she wants more clarity on the district's plan.

On july 1 limestone county schools announced their plan to reopen - and the director of curriculum and instruction told us they're asking parents to commit to in person or online classes for the first semester.

The superintendent told us face masks will be encouraged... but not required.

Social distancing is also encouraged.

The school district said there will be random temperature checks and if a student's temp is higher than 100... they'll be quarantined and possibly sent home.

Now one parent said she wants to see that plan written out - so she can make the best decision for her children.

"at least parents will have documentation to make a decision off of, instead of just on a whim," reporting in limestone county, alexis scott waay-31 news
