WAYNE â Wayne County students hoping to learn in a virtual setting for the 2021-22 school year will be granted that option, according to Superintendent Todd Alexander.
While the details are still being discussed, Alexander said there will be a âskeletal scheduleâ created to allow students who prospered during virtual learning or have special-needs requirements that are better met by virtual learning the opportunity to learn the best way they can.
By allowing students to learn virtually, Alexander said the district will keep students enrolled in the public school system.
âWeâre going to be updating our virtual school policy. There will be a skeletal schedule of virtual classes that are available for students who medically cannot attend in person or if we have parents that absolutely insist,â he said. âThe bottom line is we want to hold onto these kids. We donât want them to go to homeschooling.â
