ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Va. (WVIR) - Albemarle County is planning to largely expand its summer school programs to help combat learning loss from the coronavirus pandemic. An entire task force is sorting out plans to get kids back on track.
Albemarle County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Matt Haas says the school division is inviting all students back for summer school as a part of a learning recovery plan. The plan will involve activities beyond the classroom to help kids socialize and reconnect.

CHARLOTTEVILLE (WINA) – Some 8000 Albemarle County students are returning to in-person school in some form as this morning starts Stage 4 of the Return To School plan. School Board Chair Graham Paige says they’ve been doing Stage 3 since February 1 when pre-K through 3rd grade students were in a 2-day in-person class hybrid, and only select 4th-through-12th graders were going in-person. He says the big difference in Stage 4 is those latter grade students can come to school under a hybrid plan 2 days a week if they choose. Pre-K through 3rd-grade students are now able to go to school 4 days a week.
