Kentucky’s Commissioner Jason E. Glass and the Department of Education’s Principals Advisory Counsel talked about returning to in-person learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Governor Beshear signed an executive order that suspended in-person learning on November 23, but elementary schools could return to in-person learning on December 7 if the school was not in the red zone.
Middle schools and high schools in Kentucky must continue virtual learning until January 4.
Glass says KDE will gather feedback from the state’s education community submitting recommendations to Governor Beshear to ultimately decide.
“What I’m trying to do is hear from as many groups and individuals as much as I can over these next few days so we are able to provide the governor with a recommendation that is informed by practitioners,” Glass said.
