ROGERSVILLE â Several parents told the Rogersville City School Board of Education on Tuesday they want their children back in school, just as children are attending classes in other area school systems, including Hawkins County.
Last week, the independent K-8 RCS announced that it would be 100% virtual at least through Dec. 18 when the two-week Christmas break begins.
RCS Superintendent J.T. Stroder said during Tuesdayâs ZOOM BOE meeting he is aware that Hawkins County is awaiting doses of COVID-19 vaccine. That shipment could be available before the end of December.
âWe do know the vaccine is coming,â Stroder said. âOur hope is that after the Christmas holidays we think weâre going to be able to at least move back to the hybrid schedule (half attends two days, the other half attends the other two days, all virtual on Friday) that we were (previously) under. Ideally, we would like to do more than that, but weâre just not in a position to know yet
