Schools across the Ohio Valley have seen many changes in their curriculums this year amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with many moving to hybrid or remote plans due a rise in cases.
In July, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced state guidelines for returning to classrooms which included the Ohio Public Health Advisory System, a color-coded, county-by-county coronavirus alert system. The system is meant to notify residents of the state of spread in the community which areas may need to take additional precautions.
Additionally, state officials urged school staff, teachers and students to adorn facial coverings for in-class learning, social distance, vigilantly assess symptoms, provide hand sanitizer and thoroughly clean school spaces. However, specific details regarding staff and students re-entering the schools were left up to the local school districts.
