The Washington County Schools System has returned to in-person instruction in a school year that educators say has been like no other.
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the school system to operate on a virtual and hybrid online schedule for most of the school year.
The school system is also winding down its academic year with a new head of schools. Jerry S. Boyd assumed his duties as director of schools in April.
He replaces William Flanary, who has retired after nearly four decades with Washington County Schools.
Under the terms of Boydâs contact with the Washington County Board of Education, the director is required to develop âa proposed strategic plan for the upcoming school yearâ to be reviewed by the school board no later than Aug. 1.
