HAMPTON, Va. - The Hampton School Board will discuss a return to in-person learning at a virtual meeting Wednesday night.
The School Board originally unveiled its reopening plan at an October 7 meeting. According to the School Board's agenda, the board will provide an update on in-person learning at its Wednesday meeting.
Below are some of the changes implemented in Hampton City Schools' original reopening plan:
- Face masks and face shields will be provided to both staff members and students; masks are required upon entering school buildings.
- Desk set-up in the classroom must maintain at least a three-foot distance.
- All students and staff must perform a health assessment before returning to school every day.
- Stricter guidelines for visitors will be in place.
- New disinfecting protocols will also be implemented.
