WOODSTOCK â Three Shenandoah County teachers made public comments to the School Board on Thursday asking the division to move schools to all-virtual learning for the time being.
Shenandoah County Education Association President Jeff Rudy along with Peter Muhlenberg Middle School teachers Nicholas Zimmerman and Cara Stombock spoke for three minutes each about how they believe schools should switch to all-virtual with the Christmas holiday coming up. Many of our teachers and students plan to visit family over the holidays, Zimmerman said. We should be 100 percent virtual next week, so that families can quarantine. Not only that, are we thinking proactively about what will happen after the break? Are we planning for a virtual start so that the school can resume as normal as possible without a COVID-19 nightmare spread? I am concerned and know that when we are proactive we can spend far less time being reactive.
