Decatur City Schools going virtual until the new year By Tiffany Thompson | December 10, 2020 at 10:49 PM CST - Updated December 10 at 10:52 PM
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - More than 800 students and 100 teachers from the Decatur City School system are in quarantine as of Thursday, according to school leaders.
That number pushed school administrators to move to virtual learning starting Monday, December 14th.
School administrators said with so many teachers out in quarantine they simply don’t have the manpower to operate some of their buildings.
