Members of the Fauquier County School Board voted 4 to 1 Wednesday night to begin the next semester on Wednesday, Jan. 6 under the virtual instructional model, with the option for the hybrid model to resume on Tuesday, Jan. 19. They further decided to reevaluate the return to in-person learning at their Jan. 11 meeting.
Chairman Duke Bland (Marshall District) voted against the motion. He said he thought the schools should offer only remote learning through the end of January.
Board members and school administrators met over videoconferencing in the emergency session to discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic is playing out in the county â and how it is affecting the plan to welcome children and staff back into school buildings after the winter break.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - The Virginia Tech football team has voted to decline any potential bowl bids this year, which ends the Hokiesâ postseason streak at 27 consecutive bowls.
Techâs run of success from 1993-2019 was the longest-active bowl streak in the nation, and the fourth-longest all-time.
âI think it speaks to the difficulty of the season that theyâve been through,â says Fuente. âThere were players that wanted to play. They were passionate about that. But we were going to do this all-together, or not. This was ultimately about our kids, and I think theyâve sacrificed enough.â
