Nearly 18 months after the COVID-19 pandemic turned the world upside down, teachers and students are returning to the classroom in person across Rutherford County and Murfreesboro City school systems.
Both districts welcome students for a half-day Aug. 6. Then it’s full steam ahead Aug. 9.
“I think our teachers are excited to be back in person and excited to have kids in the building again, and we’re ready for them,” City Schools Director Trey Duke said.
