Christian County Public Schools announced Thursday that it will return to in-person instruction on Tuesday, Jan. 19. The district was previously scheduled to return to in-person instruction two weeks ago but moved the date due to the spike in COVID-19 cases in the county.
At the time of the decision to remain in NTI, Jennie Stuart Health was at maximum capacity. The district cited the hospitals current capacity â back down to normal wintertime numbers â as one reason that it is returning in-person.
The district currently has 21 staff members and 25 in-person students with active virus cases. Those individuals are in quarantine.
District staff have also started receiving the vaccine this week.
