The governor said that school officials are noticing a decline in academic achievement.
During the meeting, board members discussed improving summer school programs to make up for some of the learning students lost from virtual instruction. School officials say there is additional funding from the CARES Act that can be used to support more robust summer school programs.
News 3 spoke with Virginia Beach Superintendent Dr. Aaron Spence over the phone before the meeting. He said they are in the planning stages regarding summer school, but added they will offer a more robust program than in previous summers, especially for elementary school-aged children.
