Mathews County Public Schools edged a step closer to offering full, in-person instruction, with the school board giving Superintendent of Schools Nancy Welch authority to reduce the separation between students from the current six feet to three.
This will allow students who have been struggling during the pandemic, with failing grades in one or more of the core subjects, to come back to the classroom four days a week, she said.
The board gave its consent during Tuesday’s monthly meeting, which was held in the Harry M. Ward Auditorium at Mathews High School.
In revised guidelines issued by the Virginia Department of Education on March 9, while the separation of six feet between pupils should be maximized to the greatest extent possible, “minimum distances between three and six feet may be considered if masks are worn and if it is necessary to continue some form of in-person instruction.”

“What a different conversation than we were having at the beginning.”
That’s how Mathews County Superintendent of Schools Nancy Welch summed up discussion during Tuesday night’s work session on the 2021-2022 budget, as the school board moved from a bare-bones proposal that included school consolidation and possible classroom layoffs to one that calls for salary increases, no consolidation of the county’s elementary and middle schools, and no reductions in staff.
In normal years, board chairman John Priest said, the school board has gone ahead with a budget of what the division would like to have in the coming year, and then adjusted it downward once cuts had been made by county supervisors. He pointed to such things as the 3- and 4-year-old preschool initiative as one of the cuts made in years past, as well as proposed new positions that then had to be eliminated from the final approved budget.
